IXiXI-ON'fS S1DIC OF THE STORY. Londoti. iarch l-.. John Flower, chairman of the shareholders commit tee which instigated the prosecution of Whitker VVricht, the director of the London Globe Finance onrporat ion, ho was arrested on his arrival at New Tnrk from France, says: "1 see Wrlsrht is quoted as saying be had a powerful protector in an exalted Qttart'-r. That siatement is net new to US, It is the keynote of the w hole case. T'rior to the failure of the London t Globe, certain persons maintain. Wright had in ids pess-ssion letters from lead ing members of the Fuglish royal fam iiv showing they were mixed up in his t -a nsat t ions, .Ve have no documentary proof of this. Wright himself is paob ahiy the onlv man in the world who could move it. If he ha such lett-es they ought now to be in the possession of the Xew York officials, as we sup pose they searched his effects, and Wright is not likely to let such a power ful weapon of defense out of his per sona! keeping. Within a few weeks the chef Wsue n the U'ricrht ease will be the question of the .-oi-i ol'ci y or other wise of the most exalted persons in the empire in Wrights schemes We do nor anti. ipate any dir'ieqity in nbtnimnc b's extradition. bait if what right's friends ntaintain turns out to be true his genuine prosecution will be, ome an extremely delicate matter. Vo behove, however, that the lawyers at present engaged wiil sift the matter te) the bot tom reeardiess of any considerations," RefMrring to the interview with Wright puhlished in the New York Her old toda;- Mr. Flower said: "T quite sympathize with I'.'riht when he says the failure of the London Globe was due to the treachery of others. There is no doubt of that. But it must he remembered that for three jiicr.iUs .rior to the failure the London r, t I:i its lockers, 4 r half a million a at every settle n.t' .-nta decision that a body could not be ir.st does not prevent proceeded Wright, as the prime factor in the rot ten conditions which, existed before the failure, being made to take tne re sponsibility." Attorney General Finlay. in the house of commons this afternoon, said the crown would pay the cost of the extra dition of Wrierht and the payment by the crown of the whole expenses of the pi eediiiKS would be considered. His prosecution, however, would be left in tin- hands of the official receiver of the London Globe corpora t ion. I!K RKOLGHT L1TTLF MONET. New York, March 16. V.'hitaker V.'richt arrested yesterday was taken to the federal building today to be ar raigned before Commissioner Alexander. Miss Florence Browne, said to be his ni ce, who arrived with him yesterday and who disappeared from the Albe marle hotel later in the day, went to the office of United States Attorney Henkei with her counsel. She was not a pris oner. Miss Browne, while she repeatedly asked to be excused from answering questions, made yiartial replies when questioned by representatives of the press. She sa id s.ne the niece of Whits ker 'Wright, but knew nothing iie.ut his financial affairs. Mr. right, she said, did not bring a large sum ot money with hirn. "It is not the custom of Knglish peo ple to travel with large sums," she said. "They secure letters of credit or drafts, instead of carrying large amounts of money. I have only a small sum with me, enough to carry tne along, but of course 1 am able to secure any amount 1 net d tor any purpose. Miss Browne said she would return to England a r v shortly. WF.IGHT'S SIDE OF IT. New York, March lii. On his way to the federal building Wright made a statement, in which he said: "I shall waive all extradition formali-tie-; to i.:o back to England as soon as the government matures all arrange ments. "This story about the amount of mon ey lost is all bosh," be said. "The amount lost altogether did not exceed i 4.(ii nnn. This all turns toward the time when the crash came. The divi dends paid out under a secured capital, consisting of mining property, were more, than the capital itself of the Globe, company. The Boer war with its finan cial irregularities contributed largely and was chiefly responsible for destroy ing the value of mining properties at a time, when our asst:ts were invested. This is a scheme or plan to destroy for the time being the market values of mining properties. "The tilnbe company would today be on its feet had it not been for the sub way, the itnderg round road in London, but unfortunately in an unwise mo ment, the Globe became interested in it and the crash came. The money was legitimately lost. This occurred two years ago. I went over the books care fully myself with the receiver and the matter was laid in all its entirety be fore parliament. "The atto-.-ney general for. the crown told me himself that I had a clean bill of health and was not. culpable in any way, I am an Englishman by birth. I rm an American citizen. 1 have three children livine; with my wife in Eng land and three are buried In Philadel phia. Miss Browne is my niece and is my sister's child. She came here to visit friends in Philadelphia. I rams hf re to examine mining properties." Wright was arraigned before United States Commission Alexander and the I hearing was adjourned until ednes day. Maurice t'ntermyer appe.-ired for the prisoner. Asked whether he waived examination, Mr. Untermyer replied: "On the contrary, and I wish to add that my client states that personally ha would take a steamer immediately Ir England and answer these charges, out on advice of counsel he will wait fur ther proceedings on the part of the BriHsh government. Mr. "Wright also denied that he is a fugitive from jus tice. He has been absent from England three weeks in Paris, but insists he is not a fugitive from justice." Charles Fox, legal adviser of the Brit ish consulate, asked for an adjournment for two weeks pending trie arrival or papers from England. This was op posed by counsel of the prisoner, who after consulting his client said: "T think an adjournment until Tues day or Wednesday will be sufficient. Mr. YVrirrht insists he is willing to re turn to Ensland at once." Commissioner Alexander then act the hearing for Wednesday. Nothing was said about bail for the prisoner. When asked directly whether Mr. Wright was going to waive extradition. Mr. Fntermyer said the adjournment was taken that they might consider what, the;' would do. The formal complaint against Wright charges him. with fraud in nublishint; false statements of accounts of the London and Glohf corporation. I X S ET T L E 1) W E A THE R.

President Fixes Time of Arriv al in Topeka. W ill Be Uere at Six O'clock in Eyeninjr. SPEAK AT AUDITORIUM. Expected to Lay Corner Stone of Y. M. C. A. Buildins?. Programme Governing Stay in Topeka Is Outlined. Congressman Charles Curtis, who re turned to Topeka from Vv'ashington Sunday, received from President Roose velt the personal assurance that ne would be in Topeka to attend the inter national convention of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. Sunday niht he received a, telegram stating the hour at which the president would arrive and the time when he would leave for the west. Th3 convention committee of the Topeka Y". M. C. A. has sent the president an out line programme for his stay here and is waiting for its approval. President Koosevelt will arrive here at 6 p. m. May 1 and will leave at 8 a. m. of the following day. His trip will be made over the Union Pacific and his final destination is some point in the west where he will take an outing. The details of his trip have not been an nounced. On account of the shortness of his stay in Topeka, President Roosevelt will probably make but one public appear ance although he may consent to super intend the laying of the cornerstone of the new Railroad Y. M. C. A. building early on the morning of May 2. He. will speak before the convention in the Auditorium at S o'clo-K on the evening of his arrival and will be given an open air pyrotechnic display on his way from the Auditorium to his train in which he will remain instead of goins to a hotei. The programme for the president's brief sojourn in Topeka will be about as fol lows: Arrival at 6 o'clock on the evening of Friday, May 1. Escort from the train to the Auditorium at 7:45 p. m. Address in the Auditorium at 8:15. Reception to the delegates of the convention on the stage immediately following the address. Escorted back to the train at la o'clock p. m. The ptesident will be asked to at tend the laying of the cornerstone of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. buildins between the hours of 6:45 and 7:45 Saturday morning. Departure for the west at 8 a. m. The problem of taking care of so im portant a guest is a big one but Tope It i feels amply able to discharge her duty lully in the matter without any undue show of awkwardness. The Topeka Commercial club has tendered its ser vices and it is probable that the citizens at large will be asked to lend their as sistance in one way or another in doing the proper thing. It is known that President Roosevelt does not want to be the victim of any very elaborate functions so that he will not be called upon to appear in the evening except at the Auditorium. Something extensive will be done in the way of a fireworks display and the people will be given an opportunity of working off their enthus iasm out of doors. When the president sends back the re vised edition of his evening's programme the reception committee wili begirt its preparations and take plenty of time to work them out. SANTA EE PLAN'S. Will Have a Coast Line in California Some Day. San Francisco. March 16. Paul Mor ton, vice president of the Santa Fe road arrived from Santa Barbara Saturday. Speaking of the recent purchase by the Santa Fe of the Eureka. Eel River road and its txtentions in Humboldt county, Mr. Morton said: "The company has bought these roads wdth a view of using them a.s nucleus for a coast line at some future date. It is not true, however, that the Santa Fe has purchased the California Northwestern road. There will be a time, and it is not. far off, when the Santa Fe will find it necessary to ex tend its lines to the north to meet the requirements of business. There is a grand lot of timber in that particular section of California, and there is a great demand for th material at the eastern end of our road, consequently we have good reasons for availing our selves of the supply and meeting the demand." Mr. Morton admitted that a syndi cate had made the purchase for the company and have beer, acquiring large timber tracts on the coast side of Cali fornia. Among those in the syndicate are Mr. Cheney, one of the directors of the road, and several close friends of the Santa Fe company. Asked if there weer any prospects of the Santa Fe entering Sacramento and San Jose in the near future Mr. Morton answered: "Well. I cannot say as to the near future but I am satisfied that we will eventually connect with these cities. At present, however, we are using all our money for new rolling stock. Busi ness demands it." CLEVELAND WRITES. Author of Article on "Adversity as an Aid to Success." Xew York. March 16 Grover Cleve land has written an article on "Adver sity as an Aid to Success." "Of course it will not do." he says, "to count adversity among the necessary requisites to life's success. We have seen many wdn notable successes whose paths were smooth and easy and whose oppor tunities placed the rewards cf effort within their comfortable reach. It must nevertheless b confessed that these are the favored ones, who constitute but a small minority of those who enter ill the race for success. "I propose to deal with the great ma jority who in their efforts to reach the goal are doomed to encounter difficulties and adversity. We see among these such a large proportion who have won an. who, on their way to greatness, fame and wealth, have overcome obstacles, that we are ant to unconsciously look upon these obstacles ns in themselves helpful factors in buildine up success. "A moment's reflection, however, pre sents them in their true light as being in their unadnlated condition uely and troublesome hindrances. It is only when by the chemistry of God they are mixed with certain tther elements and are sulk jected to the actiom of certain solvents that they may be transmuted to useful stimulants in man's highest and best efforts. "He who seekins success finds adver sity in his rath must if he is to win bring to his encounter with, this oppos ing force determination, persistence and unflagging courage. "These will not permit him to fail. In. stead of this they will urge him to brave resistance and force him to stern struggle, and thus he will be so strengthened in his moral mental sin ews and so developed in the muscles of his character that he will not only win in the battle immediately pressed upon him, but will gain a training and fitness promising future triumphs in the arena of high achievements. "In starting an account with adversity if something on this score is put in the credit column, we should not forget to charge against it the destruction of those weak and timorous souls who in ad versity's onrush have been overwhelmed and loM on the field cf struggle. "With all this before us. if we would justly determine the state of our ac count with adversity, we must strike a balance between the value of those lost because too timid or too feeble or too irresolute to fight to a finish and those saved who, brave, strong and uncon querable, have not only won their battle with ndversiti' but have brought from the encounter into the world's activity stout hearts and sturdy arms, fit to chal lenge any emergency of daring advance and enterprise The timid' and weak that, are lost can well be spare!. The brave who win the fight are saved for great and noble t h iu-s. "Let us not seek to avoid the results of the balance, and let us frankly confess that the forbidding and hostile element of adversity may become, in favorablo combination and solution, a Dowerful agency in the production of man's best success." !M. CURTIS AT HOIE. Congressman Is Here to Spend the Summer. In his fourth floor, front, office in the Crawford building on Fifth and Jack son streets. Congressman Charles Curtis and Miss Holly Curtis, his secretary, have installed themselves for the sum mer. Mr. Curtis returned from Wash ington Sunday and has settled down for his vacation work and rest. He had a good many callers today and with stopping to chat with them got very lit tle work done, although his desk pre sented the appearance of that of a busy man. In appearance he is a little worn, per haps, with his winter's work but he is in good spirits at getting home.

That seems to be large enough tor nis present purposes. Mr. Curtis was ready to talk about his work in congreet his v later and did so very intei-esaias'iy "'ter ..grasping the reporter's hand and vailing him by name. The roportiir had not met Mr. Curtis for four years and then only for a moment so he expanded consciously when his name was remembered. This is said to be one of Congressmen Cut tls 'strong points. First Mr. Curtis told of his interview with President Roose velt regarding) his proposed visit to To peka in May, and of the telegram re ceived Sunday evening announcing the date of his intended arrival here. Mr. Curtis has turned that matter over to Major T. J. Anderson and the Commer cial club. "I presume." he said, "that the people will be interested in hearing a little about what congress has done and what! it has left undone during the past session. but that is a big subject. Among other things 3. 4.10 bills were acted upon out of about twenty thous and introduced in both houses. Five new acts were added to the pension laws cf the country. Among them the most important one, I think, was the one granting a pension to every soldier w ho has lost a limb w hil In the service of the army or navy. The service pen sion for veterans of the Mexican war has also been increased to $12 per month. I think that the next important pension legislation will he the granting of a service pension for every man who served in the Union army during the Civil war. "Several mail rentes have been granted for the p'irst Oistrict to be installed very shortly. On May 1 roups will be put in operation at Winchester. Reserve. Ozaw kie. Leona, Hnrron.

Special agent:? of the pof office department will be located at On tario in Jackson county within a few weeks and in leaven worth county very shortly." Returning to his conversation about con gress, he said: "It's too bad that they don't reform the senate rules, ff they had cut off ail the extra deflate this extra ses sion could be done away with, but with the present absolute freedom of dt bate there's no telling when the vote wiil be taken upon the two important treaty prop ositions that are now b. fore the boclv. I really believe that both will finally be adopter! by a big majority and in a condi tion w b.iefi will meet the approval of the people. "It is indefinite, of course, but I think the vote wiil probably be taken upon the canal treaty next Tuesday and that the Cuban treaty will be ratified very soon af terward." In response to an inquiry as to what he thought about the failure of the leg islature to act together upon a congress ional reapportionment bill, he said be was surprised, but that he didn't need to tell why. Mr. Curtis listened with considera ble interest to an account of the rumpus that, has been stirred up ahout Senator Burton's allesed connection with a get-rieh-quirk scheme in St. Lours, but he de clined to comment on it or discuss it. FAVOR A STRIKE. New Hampshire and Hartford Em ployes Take a Vot3. New York. March 16. According to employes of the Xew York. Xew Hamp shire Hartford railway in this citv, the vote of the men will show a large majority to be in favor of a strike if concessions can not be secured. The can vass of the vote probably will be com plete by tonight. When asked about the standing the committee of citizens would have if they should endeavor to bring about a set tlement, an official of the railway com pany said: "The railroad has stated its position through its president and there is noth ing more to add at the present time." j. P. Morgan and other members of the board of directors of the company were in conference with President Hall today. It is said there was nothinir to give out. Temperature of Large Cities.

A Business Associate of the Late E. L. Burdick Points Out Probable Motive for the Murder. HE HAD SEEN LETTERS They Would Be Incriminating If Produced. Other Papers of Damaging Character Are Missing. Buffalo, N. Y., March 16. The inquest into the cause of the death of Edwin L. Burdick was continued today. Dis trict Attorney Coatsworth, before the investigation was begun, declined to state what witnesses would be heard, with the exception of Dr. William H. Marcy, the physician who was called to the Burdick house by telephone on the morning of the murder and who was the first person to see the murdered man. He was the one also who Dep uty Medical Examiner Holland said on the stand had asked him to report the tragedy as a suicide, if he could do so. The district attorney said that Mrs. Maria A. Hull, the mother of Mrs. Burdick, would not be recalled today. The Express prints an interview with a. person who at one time was a stock holder in the Buffalo envelope company and for 12 years a close friend of E. L. Burdick. The interview in part is as follows: "I had been acquainted with Mr. Burdick for 12 years prior to his death. I came in almost daily con tact with hirn and for some time past had been more or less in his confidence. First of all I want to say something in defense of his character which has been unjustly maligned by statement and in sinuation. Mr. Burdick was a gentle man in every sense of the word. This talk about his intimacy with women I believe was wholly without founda tion. "Though I knew in the early part of December that Mr. Burdick had made a will cutting off his wife it was not until shortly after Christmas that I learned anything about the divorce proceedings. tive for the crime might have been a desire to suppress the scandal that would have hen incident to the trial of a divorce suit. "Soon after Mr. Burdick told me of his having begun divorce proceedings he showed me a letter he had just re ceived from New York. Mr. Burdick handed me the letter and I read every word of it. "In the letter the writer was trying hard to brine; about a reconciliation be tween Mr. Burdick and his wife. She pleaded with Burdick to take "Allie back. The writer also wrote in this let ter something that Burdick construed as a threat that unless there was a recon ciliation there would be a double sui cide. 1 can not remember the exact words, but they were something like this: 'Do you want to put an end to all our lives?' "Mr. Burdick pointed out that par ticular part of the letter to me and said: 'That means suicide. Well, let tnein co aiiead and do it.' "It seems to me that this letter ought to be found. What has become of it? Did he have it in his desk in his den at his house, and was it taken by the murderer when rillins the drawer that was found ouen? "Another paper that should be found is a list of twenty meeting places that Mr. Burdick had secured for use in hi3 divorce proceedings." FOR SWEDEN'S POOR.

The work has been actively in progress for several days, and a week will elapse before the accounts are completed. Prominent stoc kholders say they do not think ci detailed statement to the public will be made until this work is finished, while others declare that the facts of the com pany's condition will be given to the shareholders within a few days. T'efinite statements regarding the affairs of th? company are promised by the committee of st'-ckholders. who have taken the matter in charge. Members of the committee say the company's officers have been extravagant, but there are plenty of assets and indications of pros perity for the concern if the present dif ficulty is overcome.

Refused to Take Strikers' Place on Learning the Truth. Flttsburg, Pa.. March 16 After wait ing several weeks for the striking struc tural iron workers to resume work, the American Bridge company decided last week to import men and today thirty eight men reached here from Louisville. They were met at the station by a force of detectives and escorted to the company's offices, but after learning the situation they refused to work and later joined the strikers at their headquar ters. The company is determined to re sume and declares that more men will be imported at once. If the strikers interfere with them, an appeal for protection will be made to the court. The Louisville men well be sent home by the strikers. ISTOITS WORK, He Has the Probing of Another Big Scandal. A Number of People in High Places Concerned. Washington, March 16. The charges that have been filed with the president in the attorney general and postoffice department scandals, are of a compre hensive character, and if they are sub stantiated a colossal conspiracy which has been in progress for years will be unearthed. One well known law firm in j New Y'ork. another in Washington, a United States senator and a Baltimore lawyer are accused in the charges which j have been preferred. In the investigation which has begun to disclose alleged connections of an of ficial and semi-official character with get-rich-quick concerns in various cities, James Tyner, the assistant attorney general to the postoffice department, is a mere incident. Before T. C. Campbell, the Cincinnati lawyer, reached Wash ington, the administration had decided upon its plan of action. Tyner was not at that time a factor in the management of the legal affairs of the postoffice and Mr. Bristow, the fourth assistant post master general, was already at work on the investigation which Campbell is al leged to have started. It was the pur pose of the administration to proceed quietly and thoroughly wdth its work and if the. charges were proved make a thorough overhauling of all departments involved. No order has charged General Tyner with a more serious offense than being putty in the hands of other men. More than a month ago Postmaster General Payne, in conversation with a newspa per correspondent who talked with him about the gossip connected with the de partment, remai ked that General Tyner would probabiy never return to active duties in that office. General Tyner was at that time sick at his home. He is more than seventy years of age and has spent a life time in the postoffice de partment. He resigned from congress to become first assistant postmaster general under General Jewell and Presi dent Grant during his second term ap pointed him postmaster general. His familiarity with the details of the office made him a valuable public servant be fore old age crept upon him. A charit able view of the cases forces the asser tion that for several years past General Tyner has not been himself. Designing men have in ail probability imposed upon him. These impositions have at last reached the stage of a public: scan dal. For two weeks General Tyner has been sidetracked so far as his official connection with the office of attorney general is concerned and for a much longer period the work in the office has been done by other men. The developments during the last six months in various parts of the country have done incalculabledrarm to the pub lic service. The efficiency of the post office inspectors has been impaired through the lack of co-operation of the attorney general's department, and a condition of affairs has at last been brought about which will necessitate most comprehensive investigation. Joseph L. Bristow, fourth assistant postmaster general, who has been placed in charge of the investigation ordered by the president, is the official who un earthed the Cuban postal frauds. The present scandals. like that in Cuba, have largely to do with persons from Indiana. Practically all those In volved except the United States senator have an Indiana connection or are for mer citizens of that state. HAMILTON OUT OF IT. Topeka Young Man Will Resume Practice of Law. Captain Clad Hamilton has set April 1 as the date on which he will retire from the state's legal department. At torney r"reneral Coleman asked Cap tain Hamilton to remain for a time, at least, when he took charge of the office, although Captain Hamilton had stated that he intended to give all his time to his private law business. Now that the legislature isover he will retire from the office. It is not yet known who his successor will be. The place Captain Hamilton has been occupying is known as special assist ant attorney general. The house this year tried to do away with it by leav ing it out of the executive and judicial appropriation bill, but the senate in sisted on its going in, and the senate had its way. but the salary is cut from $I.KO0 a year to $1,610. The state has never had a more con scientious and faithful official than Clad Hamilton. H is not the kind who believes that a public office is a private snap, but he works as hard or harder for the state than he would in his private business.

All Supposed Victims of Hossey, the Herb Doctor. AN ARCH POISONER. Hels in Jail in Connection With the Danz Case. In Which the Widow Is Also Held Guilty. Philadelphia, March 16. The police authorities have directed the opening ol thirty-four graves, having seized evi dence which leads them to believe that George Hossey, the .negro herb "doctor, is responsible for at least that many deaths. Hossey is in jail as an acces sory to the murder of William G. Dana, whose widow is charged with having ad ministered to her husband slow poisoo furnished by the negro. "We do not know how many aoison ing3 can be traced to Hossey." said a, police official today, "but thus far w hove secured evidence that has w ar ea nt ed us in directing the opening ol thirty-four graves. This step will begin at once, and we believe the result will show Assistant District Attorney Shoey was not exaggerating when he branded Hossey as an arch poisoner. This casa is assuming proportions far beyond the comprehension of those connected witll it at the time Hossey was arrested. Titm real investigation i3 just beginning, and before it proceeds much further Btartlina developments will crop up. There naj be several arrests, but they are not like ly to come until the organs of the bodie exhumed have been examined by th chemists." Detectives are searching for a whit woman who is alleged to have represent ed Hossey in the preliminary deal!s wdth his patrons. SEVENTY LETTERS FOUND. Philadelphia, March 16. Seventy let ters, written mostly by women, have been found in the home of George Hossey, the negro "herb doctor." who is accused of being an accessory to tha alleged murder of v m. G. Danz. These letters, which are said to he of an incriminating nature, vary little iri their terms, and, it is asserted, shovr that Hossey charged $100 for every case. Some of the letters point to pay ment of the fee in installments. GOUGED A BIG HOLE. Top of a Boiler Blown Half a Mile by Explosion. Toledo, O.. March 16. In a boiler ex plosion which wrecked a large portion of the east Toledo mills of the Republic Iron and Steel company today, one man was killed and two others burned so badly that they may die. The dead: JOHN THOMPSON, water tender, aged 41, formerly of Findlay. The injured: Melvin Lrpdegraff, aged 39, night engi neer, burned from head to foot ami crushed by falling bricks. Henry Fust, aged 56, watchman, burn ed about head and face and crushed by, bricks. Both injured men have large families. It will never be known how the acci dent occurred as the dead man was the only one near the boiler. The top of the boiler, weighing a ton was blown half a mile, hurling just over the tops of 20 houses and finally gouging a hole fully 20 feet in the ground. Iron flues by the dozen were driven deep into the earth. I One entire end of the mill was: blown out, causing damage of $40, M0. It wdl take a month to repair the plant. NO STRIKE ON ALTON. Grand Master Momssey. Discusses the Situation. St. Louis, Mo.. March 16. P. H. Mot rissey, grand master of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen. when shown the dispatch from Chicago, stating that the trainmen of th Chicago Alton railway had decided to sirik unless heir demand for an increase of waga is agreed to by the offirials of the road, said there was not a word of truth in it. Mr. Morrlssey dictated the following statement, which he said rovers the sit uation on the Alton road, to the As sociated Press: "The report sent out from Chicago that the trainmen of the Chicago Al ton railroad have decided to go on a strike unless their demand for an in crease of wages is agreed to by the offi rials of the road has no foundation in, fact. There has been no proposition to strike submitted to the employes of the system and there can be no strike un less the employes authorize It by a, two-thirds vote. The committee repre senting the conductors and trainmen are conferring with the genera! officer of the railroad as to wages and rules governing their employment and there Is every reason to believe they will reach anamieable agreement. The fact that an officerof eachorgaritation con ferred with the committees in Chicago yesterday has no particular signifi cance. These officers were en route: from St. Iotiis to St. Paul and inci dentally met the committee in Chicaej yesterday as they may have met com mittees of other lines." TRANSFER LINES TIF I) IP.

For a Fight Between Fitzsim cions and 0'IJrieii. $10,000 PURSE OFFERED The Australian Balks on Such a Proposition. Says California Is the Only Place to Fight. Fittsburg, Pa., March 16. The first formal offer on the part of a boxing promoter to capture the proposed 20 round bout between Bob Fitzsimmons and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien was made here when Manager Jack Herr mann, of the International Athletic club of Ft. Krie, arrived to submit his pro position to Filz. Herrmann stated that he would Rive a purse of $10,000 for the contest, and offers to post his forfeit in New York Tuesday, when O'Brien is to rover the Cornishman's deposit and sign articles. "1 feel confident that after a talk with Fitz I can convince him that no better proposition than mine will be made for this match," said Herrmann. "Ft. Krie is the only place in the east where the light can be pulled off without inter ference, and O'Brien accepted my terms two days ago. It is now up to Fitz. I know that Bob wants to go to Califor nia, but they will not be able to get as much money there as I have offered. I am ready to give $10,000 for the contest, and if Fitz accepts I will be on deck Tuesday in New 1'ork to post my for feit. Fitz declared he would fight no place except California. FiizsinMiwns was the victim of a hero worshiper Saturday, and as a result the lanky Cornishman is minus a hat, while John Thompson, a well known hockey player of this city, was arrested and is out on a JJO forfeit. Fitz and Jeffries were in a crowded down-town saloon, surounded by a crowd of admiring' friends. One of the latter wanted to try on Fitz's hat, and the latter handed it to him. When the admirer returned the hat Fitz put it on his head, w hen it was instantly snatched away by Thompson, who was behind him, and who made a hurried exit. Fita gave chase and was joined by a captain of police, a lieutenant, and several offi cers. 'Thompson was finally captured ill an alley, but he had thrown the hat away when he found he was close pressed. It was not recovered. Thomp.. son said he wanted the hat as a sou venir. Baseball at Manhattan. Manhattan, Kas., March 16. The baseball practice season has been be gun at the Kansas State Agricultural college. While baseball has been alKiut the only athletic game at the college that has met with any considerable de gree of success in the past, this season bids fair to be more successful than usual. Outdoor practice is In progress and nearly all of the positions are tilled with last year's men. The position of catcher is the weakest point, and there is, thus far, no candidate that is able to hold the place behind the bat. Sidorfsky, Cassell. Gillis, Hess, Samuels and Thompson are among the old timers. There is also plenty of new material of good promise. The team will be trained by a professional coach. The following is the schedule for the home grounds: April 9, Kansas univer sity; April 13. Kansas City Blues; April 1, Kansas City Blues; April IT, Ottawa university; April g, Bethany college; April .10, Kansas State normal; May Creighton university; May 11, Univer sity of Colorado; May 16, University of Nebraska; May 21, Highland Park col lege; May 2). College of Emporia; May 26, Haskell Indians; June 8, Fort Itiley. Terry and Corbett at Work. San Francisco. Ca!.. March Ifi Terrv Meiiovern la getting along swimmingly i with his training work at Croll s garden, Alameda. He is delighted with hi.i quar tets, and says that he could not wish to have better equipment or to be more pleas antly situated. As McUovern has with him his old cronies. Joe Humphries and Trainer Charlie Mayhnod, and as Kid Car ter, another i hooklynite. is also at Crolls, there is plenty of good fellowship in camp nno the little f atherweight is alv.avs in high spirits. There is no doubt in regard to MeGovern's weight. He will make 127 pounds easily. He is below that notch now, in fact, and he can reprulate his work with out an atom of anxiety in restiect to the v.ifcdit clause in the articles. Young Corbett is putting his best foot forward at Mike Sheehan's Beach tavern. His disappointing showing with Hani on worries him, and he wants to whow his championship form next time. In speaking of the coming fit-tit Abe Attell picks .Mc- i Govern to beat Corbett. He boxed with Corbett for some months when he first went to Denver and knows the champion pretty well. Able claims that Corbett i knows him so well that he won't tiht him, on ttie other hand. MoOovern will. and Abe is hoping that his pick is right. Kddie Coin, the eastern welterweight, w-ho came west with McGovern.has been match ed for tile ten round preliminarv to the Corbett-McGovern tie-lit with "The Dixie Kid." If Cain is anything like as good as claimed he will have an easy task dispos ing of the brunette, who fights well for a round or two and then goes to pieces. Oleason Eefuses McGraw. Philadelphia. March 16. "Kid" Glea son will not join the New York Nation al League team. He made this an nouncement today and says he means every word of it. Several days ago Oleason was ordered by McGraw to join the Giants at Washington, to ac company them south for training. Oleason took a train for New York and had a talk with McGraw. The manager tried to persuade Gleason to join the team, but he refused. It appears that Gleason has informa tion that the Detroit nine of the Ameri can League, with which organization he has played for the past two seasons, did not trade as has been announced, but sold him to New York for a cash consideration. In consequence, Glea son demanded his share of the pur chase price paid Detroit for his release. McGraw asked the kid to join the team anyway, but Gleason said; "I simply will not Join the New York team until I get the money that is rightfully mine."' Glrason returned to Camden and he says he will stay unless he gets the $o')0 he claims. Polo Match at Frisco. San Francisco, Cal., March 16. The second game of the international polo match between the Rugby, England, and Hurlingame, Cal.. teams has been won by the Californians, the score be ing 1 to 2. The Britishers won the first contest. The deciding game will be played tomorrow. A Winning Basketball Team. Glasco, March 16. The people of Glasco are much eiated over their bas- ket ball club. By a score of. IS to 20 the Glasco club defeated a picked club from the St. John's Military school of Salina. The game was piayed in Davi son's opera house to a crowded house. The Glasco club anticipate a game with the Haskells in the near future. A HINT FROM SHAW. The Secretary Writes to the Man Who Killed "Billy the Kid." Washington, March 16. The treasury department wrote a letter today to "Pat" Garrett, collector of customs at Ei Paso. Tex., telling him to try and forget that he was once a "bad man." Garrett is well known all over the west. While sheriff in New Mexico he killed "Billy the Kid" and broke up one of the most notorious gangs of outlaws the southwest ever has known. About a year ago he applied for the position of collector at Kl Paso. Charges were filed against him. but an investigation con. vinced President Roosevelt that they were mostly unfounded and there was no reason why he should not be ap pointed. Soon after he took charge of the office complaints began coming io the treasury. It was said that Garrett was gruff and impolite to the people who had business with the collector anj that he should be removed. Secretary Shaw at first paid no attention to these complaints, as he presumed they came from Garrett's political opponents. They continued to come, however, and from so many sources that the secretary finally ordered an investigation, which developed the fact that Mr. Garrett was still enacting the role of "bad man" and there was much room for imnrovement in his official eticuelte. Officials of tht treasury department, after calling his attention to the complaint, suggested that it would be well If he posed less and treated patrons of his office with more consideration. He was reminded that collecting customs for Uncle Sara at El Paso was a peaceful vocation and that it did not require "bad man" meth ods. DR. WEBB HAS GOUT. He Has Gone Into Seclusion In San Francisco. San Francisco. March hi. Dr. Seward Webb of New- York, who, with his party of friends, reached Southern California from the east several days ago, arnvd unexpectedly in San Francisco and is now In seclusion in his apartments at the Pal ace hotel. Dr. Webb is ill, a fact which his physi cians have tried to conceal, as they at tempted to conceal the fact of his presence in San Francisco. Accompanying the doc tor was Dr. Bridgham, his own physician. Arriving here Dr. Webb's ear was hm riedly switched to a sidetrack and an ordi nary cab secured to carry the travelers to their hotel. Dr. Webb was removed from the car to the cab in an invalid's chair, but when he reached the Palace hotel he was able to get out of the conveyance with the assistance of his physician and an attendant. As he made his way to his room he limped noticeably and had to be supported. He is said to be suffering with the gout. That Dr. Webb was anxious to conceal the fact of his presence from former ac quaintances here was evidenced immedi ately after his arrival, when Dr. Brig ham sent word to the hotel office that no notice of the fact that his patient was here should be given out for at least a week. Ail efforts to gain an interview with Dr. Brigham were futile. Dr. Seward Webb married Cornelius Vanderbilt s sister. He is an officer of the New Y'ork Central railway and wan the president of the Wagner Palace Car company. He is said to be worth twenty million dollars. His "cottage" in the Adi rondacks was built at a coat of one and a half million dollars. STRIKE IS SETTLED. Both Sides Made Concessions at Colo rado Springs. Denver, March 16. A partial settle ment has been effected in the millrnen's strike at Colorado City, which has been on for nearly a month, and on account of which the state troops were ordered out. One of the features of the settle ment was an agreement that the troops will be withdrawn at once. President Meyer of the Western Federation of Miners gave his personal guarantee that order would be maintained at the mills. It was also agreed that the suit for damages filed at Colorado Springs yesterday against the officers of the militia and others by the attorney for the Western Federation of Miners would be withdrawn. Only two of the three mills that have been affected have accepted the terms of settlement, namely, the Portland and Telluride mills. The employes of the Standard mill refused to make any concessions whatever and the strike will be continued there. The managers of the Telluride and the Portland mills agree that eight hours shall constitute a day's work, except in the sampling works, where the men are to work ten hours. There is to be no discrimina tion against union men, but the mill managers retain the right to employ nonunion men at any time if they choose to do so. At the same time the union men will be given the right to use all fair means to bring nonunion men into the unions. The employes of the Telluride mill are to return to work in twenty days and those of the Port land in thirty days, or as soon as re pairs now undergoing are completed. The question of wages is to be taken up by representatives of the mill own ers and the union within thirty days. At Kmporia John Madden made a power ful nlea in a railroad damage case. His little son went home and said: "Mamma. I heard papa make a dandy speech today. And what do you think papa almost cried, and he made some of the iurymen cry, ton." "And what did you do, son?" asked Mrs. Madden. "Oh. he can't fool me." replied the heir and pride of the Madden family. Kansas Citi- Journal. DR.

Trouble That May Kesu.lt Over a Simple Incident. Glasco, March 16. This town has made itself famous because they have as good a football team as can be found in Kan sas. And now some of her people are trying to be famous over a valentine social given by the Helping Hand soci ety of the Presbyterian church. A val entine was furnished the society by one of the merchants for $1.75, and whiie the committee of ladies thought it too high price for a valentine social m Glasco, the merchant sent it along and told the committee if it brought that price he would donate the half of it to the society. It was put up and voted to the most popular lady. Miss Ollie Biggs being the winner, and brought between ?S and $9. The Helping Hand club ten dered the merchant the price he charg ed, but he refuses it, and is holding out for the one-half what it brought, and the society refuses. There is considerable excitement over the affair in church cir cles, and it is said the end is not in sight, and may result in a law suit. The Soldiers at Leavenworth. Fort Leavenworth, Kas., March 16. The soldiers at Fort Leavenworth were paid Saturday. The payment began at 9 o'clock in the court martial room on the ground floor of the headquarters building.

Beloit, Kas., March 16. It is some thing unusual for the Solomon river at Beloit to furnish plenty of water so thh mill company can run the mill through March. This year is the first time in the last fifteen years there has been ample water in the river for the Beloit Mill company to operate their plant during March. In fact it is the first March flood the river has seen at this place in all these years. The flood in the Solo mon river last week was occasioned by heavy snows and the consequence is that the wheat raisers in the wheat counties throughout this section are feeling more jubilant over the prospects for a crop than for several years prior to 1903. So far no one in Mitchell county has yet been able to give any other than first class reports of the wheat prospects. DEATH OF MRS. S. P. MOORE. The Wife of a Kansas City Man Dead in Leavenworth.

In the face of this: Id i iiiral, the caucus nominated Gam-h-wski by a vote of IS to 13. Aff r Mr. Gamlowski had been sug- Md. Sir. Schenck took the floor. He said in oart: "Genii, nn-n.

Journal was rieht. It aid a tew days before the convention that Mayor Aibnt i'arker had given the Democratic leaders to understand that lie would not be a candidate tor mayor under any t ircumstam es. Parker de nied the statement in a half-hearted sort oi a way. Saturday night ne told the dele gates that on account of hist family, he would be forced to positively decline re nomination. He said his family did not like the way tile newspapers have treat ed him. The programme for the nomination of mayor was ali cut and dried. It went oil exactly as planned out ahead of time by the steering committee. The pro gramme was to tender I'arker the nom ination, and have him decline; then to nominate ideery. The Parker nomi nation was intended as sort of a com pliment to the ietirinr mayor. I'arker nominated by M. Heery. Then af- ter lie had declined with a brief speech i in which lie s olded the law and order i people iorJiemi; untair to him, uaia Overmyer, who is always brought out when the time comes to make the c-agie scream, nominated XI. Heery amiu great applause and cheers. Parker's nomina tion was also received with a tumult of cheers. The i heering commit -e had things very well arranged. MIKE HEEKVS SPEECH. M. Heery has the reputation for build ing the most suustanlial buildings m town, but he is not entirely out of tut race when it comes to soeechmaking, though not celebrated therefor, in ac cepting the nomination Saturday night ht seid: i o e j "I suppose I'll catch it when I home. i have been on the committee which has lool.cd around for a candi date for- i:iavor, and if it were not for the fact tr.at I know how hard it is to get a man to take this place on tha ticket, I would positively refuse. We can't leave this ticket without a head. "I don't want the nomination. I don't want the office. It does not pay an hon est man to be mayor. It dees not pay unless a man is a boodler. We have ail j known of cases w here the ofiioe did pay i the occupant we.!. The records show it. But L have enough to li e on, and I don't want any ot the city's money. "Don't think that I have any doubt about my elet tion. We can do it if we go at it right. I'm glad of one thing: that is. that we are rid of the whisky question. Our Republican friends have simply taken it all out of our handi The on!;' man who has ever enforced the rronibitory law was a Democrat. and the consequences were disastrous to him, I am sorry to say. Xow if I am j elected we will have an honest admin j istration. The mayor will run the ma chine If any woman comes up to horse -j whip mo, she will &o down stairs sud deniy. If any people go out to destroy i property, I will call out the fire deiiart i merit. We won't abuse them, but we will turn the hose on them. "We have a good town here, and are proud of it. Let us make it a still bet ter one by electing Democrats to the city ofiices." ORGANIZATION OF THE CO.N'VEN TIOX. The convention organized bv electing H I'. Miller as chairman, J -H. Ulsh as secretary, and F. H. Baker as as sistant secretary. Ali preliminaries were dispensed with, and the first thing done was to nominate a mayor. For some reason there were no resolutions, and no platform was adopted. Two years ago the Democrats adopted a rampant re submission platform. In nominating Air. Heery, David Overmyer- said that the conditions for electing a Democratic mayor are as good today as they were two years ago. Two. years ago, he said, Carrie Nation was here and was ised by the law and order faction as a politiel power. This year h said it is the evangelist who is doing the same sort of work, and that the peo ple are disgusted with it, and will vote for a Democrat who understands fully that the e,ron,bii. ory law is no better than any other law, and who realizes that for twenty years the law has never been enforced. He said that the ad ministration of Mayor Parker will go down into history as one of the best the city has ever had. After all the city officers had beer nominated, the convention took a recess durins which the ward caucuses were held, and the candidates for councilmen and school board selected. Then tht convention reassembled and nominated the people chosen at the ward caucuses. COMMITTEE MET SFXDAY.

Young Member Vanderbilt Family Engaged in Novel Enterprise, Dr. W. Seward Webb, who married a daughter of old Commodore Vanderbilt, is very proud of his daughter, a young woman who has nearly attained her majority. Some six years ago Miss Webb, then a mere girl, in order to show her business ability and to obtain a little additional pocket money, took a little "flyer" in stock breeding on Shelhurne farms. Dr. Webb's country seat on Lake Champlain. She invested $;0 in a brood sow- and with her father's permission made arrangements with the shepherd to care for the sow and the pigs. As there was an abundance of skim milk this was given her without cost, but all the grain fed was charged for at. market prices. From this single investment she cleared $9o the first year, $200 the second and $.'!W the third. Bv this time the stock nan so in creased in number as to outgrow its quarters and was proving so profitable that Dr. Webb thought it advisable to buy her out. So at the end of the fourth year he took over the stock at market "prices and gave her a check for $700. which represented the year's p-ofits. From this start the present piggery has been developed, which is the most profitable department of the place. Last year 200 pijrs were sold, averaging from 250 to 300 pounds in weight and bringing half a cent a pound more than the ruling market prices be- cause of the superior conditions under I which thev are kept. The piggery is a i model of its kind. The building is In keeping with the others on the place in exterior style and the interior is finish ed with hard pine, cement floor and iron I troughs with fixtures.

So Thinks at Least One Traveling Man. I would as soon think of starting out without my mileage books and grip as to start out on a trip without a bos. of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in my valise, said a traveling man who repre sents a St. Louis hardware house. Why'.' Because I have to put up at all kinds of hotels and boarding houses. I have to eat sood, bad and indifferent food at ail hours of the clay and night, and I don't believe any man's stomach v ill stand that sort of thing without protesc, anyway I know mine won't. It has to have something to break the fail, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the crutch I fall back on. My friends often "josh" me about it. tell "me I m an easy mark for paten', medicine fakers, that advertised med icines are humbugs, etc., but I notice that they are nearly always complaining of their aches and pains and poor diges tion, while I can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for Adam I my work when it needs me, anu r ot Pen-! be ve I owe my good digestion and sound j health to the daily, regular use of j Stuart s .Dyspepsia 'la Diets, year in anu i year out, and all the "joshing" in the j world w ill never convince me to thtp I contrary. j I used to have heartburn about threx. i times a day and a headache about three j or four times a week, and after stunning for this for four or five years I began i to look around for a crutch, and found it i when my doctor told me the best in 1 vestment I cotrid make would be a 50 Icent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet;-.. and X have invested about 50 cents a i month for them ever since, and when I I st"p to think that that is what I spend I every day for cigars, I feel like shaking i hands with myself for I can keep my j stomach and digestion in first class or dor for .0 cents a month. I don't care I for any better life insurance. I My druggist tells me that they are the I mc.st popular of ail stomach medicines. and that they have maintained their i popularity and success because they do j as advertised.

Article In Railway Age Ex plains Whole Thing. MOKE ROADS INVOLVED Is Thought That Increase Will Be Demanded of Eastern Men. Higher Wages Paid by Western Koads Than by Eastern Koads. In regard to the trouble between the management of the Wabash railroad and the firemen and the trainmen the last issue of the F-ailway Age says: "While there were a few minor ques tions unsettled between the firemen and trainmen of the Wabash company and the management when the Brother hoods of Railway Trainmen and Loco motive Firemen ordered a vote to be taken in regard to a strike, the real question is a deeper one and involves many roads besides the Wabash. The wage schedules on western roads have long been fixed on a higher basis than those on roads east of the Mississippi river, while in turn the Pacific coast lines pay still higher wages. The Wa bash is exceptional among the roads reaching St. Louis in operating lines both east and west of the river. The western lines were originally owned by a. separate company, and from an oper ative standpoint are as distinct from the eastern roads as the lines which start on the west side of the river. "The original demand of the train men was that the wage distinction be tween eastern and western lines should be abolished on the Wabash and that the company should make an advanco of per cent for passenger brakemen and baggagemen on all the 2,500 miles of the system, except the line in Can ada. Subsequently the Brotherhoods offered to compromise by having the increase apply only on roads west of a line drawn from Chicago south to Dan ville. This would add the middle divi sion, with 718 miles, to tne lines west of the river, leaving a little over 600 miles in the eastern division besides the Buffalo line in Canada, which would be exempt from the present demand for an increase. On March 1, 1903, the company ad vanced rates 12 and 15. per cent for the western division, in addition to a previ ous advance, making them at least equal to those in effect on other western roads. In announcing this increase the presi dent said: "The advance cannot be ex tended east of the river on the middle division until other lines in this terri tory, competitive with the Wabash, ad vance above present Wabash rates, which are now above most of these roads." The trainmen declined to ac cept the practical compliance with all their demands for the lines west of the river and to leave the question of an ad vance in the eastern territory in abey ance until it was raet by the Wabash competitors. In a statement by the heads of the brotherhoods of trainmen and firemen, published on March 2, they say: "While Mr. Ramsey has lately pub lished an increase of ,-15 per cent for freight service and 12 per cent for pas senger service west of the river over rates in effect on January 1, l'.i02, it is difficult to make the men east of the river believe that their services are not worth just as much as those west of the river-." This statement seems to confirm the other indications that the movement which is now directed entirely against the Wabash is intended as the entering wedge for demanding a general increase of wages on all lines east of the Mis sissippi, including the St. Louis-Chicago roads, as well as those more directiy east from St. Louis in competition with the Wabash. It is, therefore, a question of requiring the companies to abolish the difference between eastern and west ern wages, which has always existed and which has been belie-ed to be jus tified by difference in the cost of living, in lengths of runs, difficulties of train service and other operating conditions. The fact that the Wabash operates lines on both sides of the river is not suf ficient to make it an exception. The mere question of corporate relations has no reference to the duties and pay of the operatives. If it has. the brotherhoods will doubtless reason that, as the Cliicago and Eastern Illinois has been acquired by the St. Louis and San Francisco, the lat ter company should extend its wage in crease to Chicago. If that should he dope, of course all the Chieago-St Ivouis lines would be required to pay equal w..ig.- artel the same would be the demand on all other roads east of the Mississippi. It seern, therefore, to come to a question of prin ciple in which all roads are iiivol red. w hile the Wabash has been selected as the fight ing ground. It would have been fairer tor the Trainmen arid firemen to make their request for an equalization of wages on all the roads concerned, instead of selecting one and clouding the real issue by minor considerations. It is a peculiarity of this movement that the men on the Wabash 1 i li s east of the river, for whom the ad vance in demanded, have, to a large fx b nt. -oted against the strike and thus in dicated that they are paiisticd with present conditions, or, at any rate, do not approve of attempting to force a change on many roads by a disguised assault upon one. NEW KANSAS CITY YARDS. More Land Will Be Condemned for Rock Island's Use. Kansas City, March 16. The Kock Is land Kailway company, which has made large purchases ot land in Armourdale and for a considerable distance along the Kaw valley west of the city limits for the enlargement of its freight yards and terminals, has secured the appoint ment of a commission by Judge Fischer in Kansas City, Kan., to condemn more land for its use. The land to be con demned is a narrow strip running along the Rock Island yards within the limits of Armourdale and extending west from a point near Seventh street. When this is secured the Kock Inland will be well equipped for yardage space. It is un derstood that in addition to laying sev eral miles ot new sidetrack the Rock Island will build the largest roundhouse in or near Kansas City. WABASH MOTION OVERRULED. Judge Adams' Decision Favorable to the Trainmen. St. Kouis. March 16. Judge Klmer B. Adams of the United States district court has overruled the motion of the Wabash Railroad company to require the tram men to file a complete exhibit of all let ters. teU-grams and correspondence be tween the men and the grievance commit tee, before argument was heard to dissolve the injunction against the employes. Judge Adams held that, the trainmen in their answer to the petition for injunction had sufficiently specified and hied the cor respondence asked for. and that no fur ther exhibit would be required. The attorneys for the trainmen said hey were willing to riie all correspondence in their possession, but that much of it had not b'f-n preserved, and all r hat was ob tainable had been fully set forth in their answer. Twenty-two- affidavits were fild by the Wabash attorneys ia support of their mo- You know Uneeda ElSCUlt by the Royal purple and with the In-er-seal trademark on the ends That s the Sense of Sight Those who want fresh, clean, wholesome biscuit buy Uneeda OiSCIiit in the airtight In-er-seal Package That s a Sight of Sense Everybody who tries Unseda BlSCUlt likes them.

GOAT ATE THE TICKET. Agent Issues Another and Asks That His Action Be Ratified. The auditing department of a railroad has some queer cases submitted and one was a recent statement made by a ticket acent in sunport of his demand tha- an official act of his bo ratified. The tick-'t agtjnt, who is employed on one of the roads running between Detroit and Buffalo, sent the statement to the Chicago offic; yester day. He had sold a ticket to a passenger who wanted to go to Buffalo. In his report he said: "The holder of the ticket. a vaud-vill'1- actor, had two performing uoats. whose act upon th stage is to eat what in supposed to be I'nited States currency.

Chief Constructor Bowles declar ed that from a constructor's point of view It would be Impossible to comply with the requirements of the senaie bid, and that the result produced would be neither a battleship nor a cruiser; it would not have the speed of the laiter or tiie efficiency of the former. The fact is that progress is being; con tinually made in naval construction, and that the tendency in modern navies is toward bigger and bigger ships. All the great naval powers have abandoned the lighter ships. The ships, for example, now building for the British navy, are of IS, 000 tons displacement. Such ships as the senate programme called for would have been antiquated before their plans were drawn. We have to thank the persistence of the house conferrees for ready up-to-date provisions for naval expension. Boata for the Next Cup Kace. Brooklyn Citizen: Sir Thomas Bipton's challenger for the America cup. Shamrock III., is so near completion that the date of her launching is set for March 17. and for her trial with Shamrock I on March T, the test to be made on the Clyde. She is expected to start for the United States on the 1st of July. Her owner, according to all accounts, is perfectly satisfied with her, and, of course, quite as hopeful of 'lifting" the cup this year as he was when he made the effort to do so with her two predecessors of the same name. AYhether she is any better than they remains to be seen. They were both tine boats, with perhaps nothing to choose between them, and if they had been a minute or two faster they might have done the "lifting," either one, "to the queen's taste," or perhaps it's the king's now. The fact is they were practically of the same model as the present boat, and as their American contestant, the Columbia, the skill of the builders in both countries having been exercised for years in the development and im provement of that type of boat until they have probably reached the point beyond which no im ptovement can be made. This was fairly demonstrated by the fact that on this side the Herreshoffs have been unable to produce a vessel of that model equal to the Columbia, which has been accordingly selected to defend the cup on each of the last two matches beginning in ISf'f and ending in 1fl0l. The new defender is of the same type, as is the new challenger also, and in spite of the hopeful way in which both are spoken of we shall take leave to doubt that either one is a whit better than her immediate predecessor until their qualities are proven in a. fair sail ing test match in various kinds of weather.

Some people always think that the soldier Is better than the officer. If your neighbor talks too much, then you are in the same boat if you say so. If you say a man is a good husband and father, you may praise him, but not otherwise. Don't talk; if there is any penalty, apply It promptly, and let it go at that. Some people never learn except through punishment. If you must go to law, hire the best lawyer available, for the best lawyer iwill win, without reference to justice or tile facts. i JO very caller at a home where there is a death means that the story of the I final struggle for breath is to be told j all over again. j "When a woman refers to people by ,th" words "blonde," or "brunette," it i indicates that she believes in fortune i tolling- to a certain extent. This is the way a woman looks at it; If a friend is dying who hasn't your doctor, it is criminal carelessness that is killing her; if she is dying and has your doctor, the ways of Providence are past finding out. A health book coming to this office advises its readers to take a Thought bath occasionally. Why isn't the idea a pood one? Kvery one should at least take an inventory occasionally to de cide if he is not thinking too much evil about people. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. All dogs are lap-dogs at least, they drink that way. If the society woman is ever in love it is with her mirror. In the crisis of a divorce suit a woman is apt to be unmanned. The man who is poor by nature is apt to be ruined by cultivation. When a man meddles with politics he must either put up or shut up. Many a courageous man v 1 1 1 take water rather than iiay for a drink. It is easier to invent a windmill than it is to raise the wind to make it go. Lots of men who are wedded to their art depend upon their relatives for sup port. Kvery young man should cultivate the habit of listening. It will come in handy after marriage. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New- York Press. The sparkle which goes out of wife hood partly returns to widowhood. It takes imagination to plan great deeds and lack of It to accomplish them. The only thing that makes a woman madder than being talked about is being considered as not worth talking about. To interest a man talk about himself; to interest a woman talk about some body she wishes were talking to her in stead of i'OU. It is hard for a woman to feel offend ed at anything a man may do if he can make her believe that her beauty was responsible for it. I'S E D O X L 10 NEK 0 0 31 Virginia Colonel Barred Himself Out of Parlor and Bathroom. He was an elegant old gentleman from Virginia. Any one would have known that he came from that state without even asking. His aristocratic face and bearing, his white hair and mustache, his courtly manner and soft elision of certain syllables, all proclaim ed him of a type becoming more and more rare with each ensuing year. No one was surprised when the clerk of the hotel which he had just entered address ed him as "Colonel." The title cer. ta inly fitted him. The writer afterward discovered that he is a bona fide colonel, having served through what was until i recently called the late unpleasantness. "Well, colonel," said the clerk, who came from the old gentleman's town in j Virginia. "You want the best in the house, of course." "Certainly, certainly, suhl" answered the colonel, to whom money mattered not.. "About how much, suh, did you say per day "Twelve dollars, sir." "Very good, suh." said the Virginian. "Perfectly satisfactory, suh." Then he was shown upstairs. After he had been at the hotel a few days his son, who happened to be in town, called upon the "governor" and found him in a very comfortable room. but nothing very elegant, at least not luxurious enough to be paying $12 a day. "I have nothing to complain of." said the colonel, "except that that stupid hell boy neglects to jock this dqor leading from my room into that of the Lord only knows who. So it is that I am 'obliged to fasten the door by chairs and j things. It's a good thinK I've served my time in the army, my boy. Who knows whether a burglar or some siren occu- pies that next room? I laid awake last I night wondering who is in there, and whether he or she might get it into their heads to investigate this room." j "I'll speak to the clerk." said the son. but by the time he had gotten down stairs his mind was fixed on other thrngs. Two or three days later the colonel asked the clerk for his bill. "And were you very comfortable, col onel?" "Perfectly-, suit." "And didn't you like the way your rooms were fitted up?" "My rooms!" exclaimed the colonel. ""Why, I only had one room suh." "Oh no. I gave yon a suite. Parlor, bedroom ami bath. What did you sup pose you were paying $12 a day for?" Then light dawned upon the colonel and be understood all about the room that wasn't locked. "By jove. suh," he says in telling the story on himself. "I barred myself out of my own bathroom and parlor for nearly a week." Washington Post. CLEVER JI0T1I EIl-IX-LAW. j Hakes Herself Look Young to Charm Prospective Sson-m-Law. Most w-omen can catch all the men they don't want, but the highest art is to catch the one you do want. It is sometimes truly pathetic to watch the maneuvers of anxious mammas endeav oring to land successful "catches" for their darling daughters. They usually scare away the few men who misht of r themselves. Mamma is generally very plump and bi.ie iiy in places, and her "embon poiui." as she calls it. looks sadly unro maiiiic to a calculating future son-in-l.e.v. He sees, in his mind's eye, Mary's slender waist 20 years from now taking on a sort of triple expansion look. He compares mamma's double chin and sleepy expression to Mary's dainty, an gelic features and beautiful, wide-open eyes. Then he wonders if it is possible Mary could ever stow like that. If he is very clever lie asks to see a picture of Mary's mother at Mary's age If he is impetuous and daring he takes Mary for life, and if he isn't he ;uoks out some less attractive girl with a more attractive mother. Thus it is here, at this point, that mamma often spoils her daughter's chances. It is now that she should dress all in black, take Turkish baths, drink g-allons of hot water an., indulge in a starvation system, all the time wearing a smiling face and "look ing pleasant." On these trifling sacri fices may depend Mary's future happi ness. Some mammas really do not want their daughters to get married, but, naturally, these are always the daught ers who want to. One of the surest ways to catch a man and fasten him fast forever is to tell him strenuously, with threatening fist if necessary, that he can never, never, never have your daughter! Man is the most curious animal known. He is like a runaway horse. You don't want to let him know you are catching him until the bit is in his mouth. Never let a man know by word or look that you want him until he asks you. and sometimes not even then. Kach step a girl advances, so far will a man retreat. Let her retreat and he will advance. Let her go seeking him and she will find him not. Let her sit still at home, and some day he will come, take her by the hand and lead her to the altar. If she acts as if she were leading him he will change his mind and leave her on the way-, to go with some other man, or never go at all. If she holds back he will drag her there by force. Detroit Tribune. MRS. GRANT'S HOME SOLD. Washington Residence Bought by Col. Johnston for tj60,000. Washington, March 16. General Frederick Grant has sold the home of his late mother, Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, in Massachusetts avenue. Colonel John A. Johnston, recently resigned from the army, was the purchaser, and the price paid was 560,000. This home was presented to Mrs. Grant by the friends and admirers of General Grant soon after his death in 1SSD. The sum of $100,000 was collected for this fund, and about half was used in purchasing; the house, while the re mainder was placed at interest to aid in keeping up the establishment. Mrs. Grant left the house to her oldest son, General Fred Grant, and her friends here believe it was her wish that thc home should be kept in the Grant fam ily. Mrs. Sartoris, the widowed and in valid daughter of Mrs. Grant, who has lived in the house for the last twelve years, has moved to an apartment house with hrr daughter, Miss Bose mary Sartoris. Mrs. Sartoris has been very feeble since her mother's death, and her friends are quite anxious over her condition. Convicted of Perjury. Iuvva City. Ia. .March 10.

The cru cial test of the great levees along the Mississippi is at hand and if they with stand the pressure of the immense vol ume of water now rushing southward, the most sanguine predictions of the government engineers will be fully veri fied. The receiver gauge this morning marks 39.1, a rise or six-tenths since 7 o'clock last evening. This is the high est stage of the water ever known here, and the weather bureau officials predict 40 feet before the crest of the flood passes. The hich water mark in the great flood of liu,', was 37.3. In north Memphis the situation is as suming a serious phase. Hundreds of people are abandoning hteir homes and every industry located along Wolf river is ciosed down. Street car service in this part of the city has been practi cally abandoned and skiffs are being brought into requisition. Several railroads have been seriously hampered by the encroaching waters and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley has annulled many of its schedules be cause of washouts south of here. Re ports from Holy Brush, 18 miles north of here, say that the levee is badly washed on top by the swift current. Laborers are working to save the em bankment with only partial success. Hundreds of sacks of sand are being thrown about the levee and the sheriff is impressing many negroes into ser vice. The weak point is about 1.000 yards in length and the water is run ning over the top of the levee, lie ports from Dyersville, Tenn., say im mense damage has been wrought in that section by the high water. Many of the planters in the Mississippi bot toms have lied to the hills and report that their homes are being washed away. Several steamboats left here today for points north and south to pick up ref ugees. New culean3. La., March 10. The river has bet n stationary here sirce yesterday morning. The absence of a rise is due in part to favorable winds, whien have great ly accelerated the tiow to the gulf. Bet ter weather conditions have improved con ditions generally, allowing the temporary levees to harden. Sensational tories which have been sent out from New Orleans to the offtct that levees below Canal street had broken and that the French quarter was two feet under water and that the t mhankments below Baton Rouge had gone, hooding 2o0 miles of territory and reijocsly endangering New Orleans, tire absolutely without foundation. TEN TONS OF BROOM CORN. It Was Destroyed in Fire at Capitol Factory. Ten tons of dry broom" corn afire in the loft of the Capitol Broom factory at 12;;4 Kansas avenue Sunday morning be tween 1 and 2 o'clock was the difficult proposition which confronted the fire de partment when it turned out in response to the alarm. So stubborn was the fire that for four hours and a half it was necessary to keep three streams of water at fire pres sure playing on the smouldering mass, and after that to do a lot of soaking tiown without fire pressure. It was a good stop which the department made. The fire was confined to one end. of the loft, and the lioor and walls were not burned through. The roof was burned through in spots at the south end where the lire originated. It. was found neces sary to cut holes in the roof and sides of the loft in order to rret at the fire. The origin of the lire is a complete mystery. William Supple, the proprie tor, says he has no clue to how it start ed. The loss was about ?!i0 on the building and probably $."i00 on the stock. The building was insured for $600 and the stock and machinery for $1,300. CAPITAL ALL GONE. First National, of Jacksonville, Fla., Closes. Washington. March 16 The First National bank of Florida at Jackson ville has been closed by order of the comptroller of the currency. The failure of the bank, it is said at the treasury department, was clue to losses, which absorbed the entire cap ital and surplus, leaving a deficiency in assets, which are of a slow character and of poor grade, consisting largely of phosphate and lumber mill machin ery, insurance policies, real estate, etc. Tiie bank has liabilities of $375,182.

Uodgers Asks for a Fran chise Today. A. K. Rodgers has filed a petition with the county commissioners asking for a franchise to build an electric railway in all parts of Shawnee county. The peti tion is very brief, and does not set forth any of the details of the scheme. The plan is to build an electric rail way system with Topeka for a center. Every part of Shawnee county will be touched by branch lines, and it is part of the plan to extend to Council Grove. The petition asks for the privilege of using any road or highway in the coun ty, and makes general provisions con cerning the erection of poles and laying of rails. The only name mentioned in the pe tition is A. K. Rodgers. The franchise is asked to extend during the life of the petitioner, and the life of all his heirs and assigns, which makes it practically a perpetual franchise. Mr. Rodgers is for a company but the name is kept a secret for the present. ALIiAl Gli IS SUFFERING. His Injured Leg la Causing Him Trouble. State Bank Commissioner Albaugh is having considerable trouble with his broken lea as-ain.

During the closing weeks of the legis lature Mr. Albaueh was around on his crutches a great deal, sometimes remain ing up until late at night. As a conse quence his broken leg became very tired. At the same time he got around as easily as possible, and did not give the injured member the exercise it should have had. The muscles cf the thigh of his right leg have had no exercise since the leg was broken on December 13. more than three months aeo. The;- will now have to be given a regular course of exercise, and Mr. Albaueh will have to learn to walk once more. The muscles are so unac customed to exercise and have grown to one position until it has become a very painful process to use them. BACK TO CLEVELAND. Dollar Gaa Case Scene of Operations Shifts.

Charges Them With Not Practicing Against Specific Sins. At the meeting of the Topeka Minis terial union this morning, Evangeiir-t Williams poured some hot shot into the members of the Topeka clergy on th Fubject of their non-performance of duty, in failing to preach to their con gregations against specific sins; against the sins which are particularly spu-fied in the law of the ten commandments Evangelist Williams spoke on the sb ject of "The Emphasis at Present Nest ed in Preaching," which was to have been treated today by Bev. J. S. Glea denning. Mr. Williams treated the stii ject from a scientific standpoint and d clared that the preachers of today an lax in their duties. That they are not up-to-date. That they should fit them selves to deal with plain facts and preach against the sins of which church members are constantly guilty, inst-a 1 of doling out the namby-pamby ser mons that meant nothlnsr to either Christian or sinner. The discussion in the after meeting revealed the fact that many of the preachers neglected to go after then congregations along these lines because of the fact that they were on n salary from their congregations and disliked to gain a reputation for being "run-about preachers" which they felt they would get, by preaching straight facts to their congregations. Several ministers announced their de termination to take chances of being dismissed by their congregations ami announced that hereafter they would preach some stirring up sermons.

"The Wars With France." i will be conducted by Miss Lillie Kluss- One hundred and twenty-seven con versions were made Sunday at the re vival meetings which are in progress at the tabernacle at the corner of Sixth avenue and Monroe street. Yesterday was the greatest day of the revival. Three meetings were held, and at the night meeting- nearly two thous and people were turned away who were unable to get inside the big hall. The building was lined with people on the outside, while people stood at all of the open windows and outside the doors in the rear of the hall, making a mass of people almost all the way across the street. Every available inch of stand ing room on the inside of the hall was taken, and the choir stage and the plat form were crowded. The address Sunday morning was the strongest of the series of sermons and lectures which Evangelist Williams has delivered. It was in a sense a continu ation of the subject of the address on the previous Sunday night; a disserta tion on the authenticity of the Bible; introducing scientific facts and inci dents in refutation of the arguments of skeptics and infidels. Illustrations drawn from happenings, events and incidents in all walks of life were portrayed to show their bearing on the Christian life, and how every thing in nature substantiated the teach ings of the Bible. The address was full of pathos, and the truths which he sought to give were couched in strikingly beautiful and in tensely dramatic rhetoric. At the afternoon meeting for children and vour.g people, he talked an hour and a half, relating stories and anec dotes to illustrate the teachings of the Bible so that the young minds could comprehend the meanings. The talk to the young folks was begun bv asking for reasons why children should not Ilay in the street. The children were not slow to give more than a score of reasons, one of which, as one particularly bright lad said, There are too many -joints' on the streets." What are you going to do with the joints' after election'."' asked Evangelist Williams. Immediately a chorus of several hun dred young voices responded; We'll run them out: "Voters, do you hear that?" asked Mr. Williams, and continued with the talk. At the meeting last night Evangelist Williams aroused the cheers of his au dience by bis reference Tar the Elks. It was during his -remarks in regard to the lodses and-iodge work and clubs keeping the fathers away from theli homes and families almost ail of the nights, when they should be with then families and helping to train their children. "The father goes, first one night to the Masonic lodge." he said, "and another night to the Odd Fellows, and still an other night to the Woodmen, and again and again to this and that lidge, and if he be inclined to be sporty, he will joia the Elks to get his booze." Evangelist Williams is a champion of the girls in their cause for outdoor sports. "I believe that every girl should learn to play football, baseball, learn to bad booze, and used Kansas avenue as i row a boat, riae a norse, swim ana snoot r,ce To worK it on. ioanft.-, ,a Lim. i iniy uia iney woum neeu Isn't it. that a policeman would interfere paint to make their cheeks red nor bel with the pleasant pastime of an exu- ladonna to give them big. bright eyes. berantf and cast ner into giooni aim a prison cell.

During the festivities some one bounced a sharp edged rock off the person of someone else. The police cornered thf entire output of the flisturoanee mm, and Dr. Judd and his assistants spent a few pleasant hours in repairing the person of Mr. Vaughn. This morning Mr. Vaughn wears his coat on tb out side and one of his jaws is bigger than it really ought to be. The entire bunch will have a hearing later, if Mr. Vaughn will make a complaint. Sunday seemed to be a good day for disturbance. Several cutting affairs ,vere reported among the underworld, but Vaughn et al were the only ones captured. At six in the evening num erous things were going on. Later while the phvsicians were repairing Mr. Vaughn someone made his presence t-, bv ririne- two or three shots His from a revolver, and then making a get away. Edith Stanley was considerably filled. titled with exuberance aim The residents of Oakland are opposed to drug stores, or the kind which may be found in Topeka. The Oaklandites, j or many of them, prefer to rely on old family remedies, such as sulphur, sarsa parilla roots, and other herbs and they object to Dr. H. H. Keith locating a drug store in Oakland, or at least hav ing a permit to sell liquor. The Oaklandites were well represented in the probate court this morning when the hearing was held. J. N. Graft led the delegation and the fight on Dr. Keith's plan to help, the sick of the community. R. P. Hayden represented Dr. Keith. Judge T. F. Garver was the attorney for the antis. The evidence was that Dr. Keith had rented a store room in Oakland, had fitted it with counters and shelves for a drug store and had installed a prescription cleric and t'O worth of medicines. He had also circulated a petition, in compliance with the law, to give him the right to sell liquors for medicinal, mechanical and scientific purposes. The petition was signed by thirty-seven men. twelve more than necessary, and thirty-two women, seven more than was necessary. Then Mr. Graft and others started a counter petition remonstrating against the issuing of the permit. The counter petition was as long as a Chinese laun dry bill, but as the law does not pro vide for counter petitions it did not have the same weight in court as the petition filed by Dr. Keith. The attorneys had quite a squabble, which took up time but seemed to make no difference with Judge Fagan, as to where the burden of proof should lie. Each attorney wished the other to be the one to prove assertions. Judge Fagan held that the opposition must prove that the signers to Dr. Keith's petition were not freeholders and that the alaintiff would not be forced to prove that the signers were freeholders. Then the defendant would be forced to prove that they were freeholders. Then the court would decide. Dr. Keith testified, and it seemed that it took him just five days to start the drug store. He began operations Feb ruary 6. and by February 11 he had the store ready for business. Then the war began. Dr. Keith filed his petition for a permit, and the antis filed their re monstrance. The antis claimed that two cf the men who signed did not live in Oakland and that three did not own property. It was j also contended that two of the w omen who sisned were not residents of Oak land. Mr. Graft was the main witness for the anti-druer store crowd. "I ex plained to Dr. Keith," said Mr. Graft, "that we Oaklanders didn't consider Country Eggs, 2 dozen 25o Quart can York State Maple Syrup 25c Sifted Early June Peas, can ..IQc 3 cans Early June Peas 25c Sweet Chocolate, per cake.... 5. lb.

Tr, Keith toi-l me that Scott Kelsey and Mr. Neil, of the woolen mill, were anxious for him to start a drug store. He said he had some money that he didn't know what to do with, and h? thought he would optn the store. I told him that I had drank beer in his Kan sas avenue drug1 store, and that I didn't want him to sell beer in Oakland. Lr; Keith explained to me that his partner was responsible for the policy of the Kansas avenue store, but that he would be responsible for his Oakland store." "Dr. Keith doesn't own a drug" store In Topeka paid his attorney. Mr. Hayden. "Hp maks reports of liquor sale? every month to this office and if he doesn't own a store I would like to know it," said Judge Fa gran. Hayden and Keith had a hurried cons' iJ tation and then Hayden admitted that he was in error. The store had been sold conditionalli'- A paper sijrned by 1" of the ron and 16 of the women who signed Ir. Keith's ap plication for a permit was presented. The lo mfii and IS women asked that thf-ir namps be withdrawn. This left less than the required 25 mrrt fi nd 25 womn a rr1 that, with the fact that th3 petition did not state the location of t hp dmer store, were the points n which Judge Fagan re fused to grant the permit. The end is not yet. Ir. Keith has to sr cure the names of 2T mn and 25 women in Topeka township in order to secure the permit for his Oakland store. As Topita township encircles Topeka south of tne Kansas river he thinks he can secure rvf licient number of names outside of Oakland. HAZEN AFTER DUCKS.

"I have observed that where the girls engage in the games with the boys that their gentle influence exerts a power to prevent rough words and treatment. "One thing- that we need in Topeka is a curfew law and a curfew bell. One of the most astonishing things that has come to my attention since J have been in this city is the remarkable number of young boys and girls who are to be seen running on the streets at nieht. They are coming, almost without excep tion to a bad end unless theiir parents learn in time to keep them at home and train them in the way they should go." A fact that has caused more comment than any one other thing during the progress of the revival perhaps was re vealed at the meeting last night. Evangelist Williams was sermonizing on the importance of family prayer. During his remarks on this subject he asked all those in the audience who were in the habit of having family prayer to arise. In that audience of 6.W0 people, more than two-thirds of which were undoubt edly church members, less than 100 per se. n roe to their feet. "This is a most remarkable and sie-nirit-ant fact." declared Mr. Williams. "If this deplprable condition may be taken for an indication of the religious status of Toneka, then I am nshamed for To peka's church members and professed Christians."

THEY SHAKE HANDS. Promise That the Campaign Will Be Clean. Fart of Unions in the Campaign Is Watched. It sfems likely that the unions will take no concerted action in the support of any candidate during the coming city campaign. The Trades Council does not meet until March 2'7. unless called to gether in special session, and the people who were leading the fight in the Trades Council for the endorsement of Lewis are said to have now lined up in favor of IJergunUthal. If the Trades Council does anything at all, it is likely to en dorse Bergundthal. X. B. Budge, one of the committee which interviewed Lewis, Bergundthal and Hughes, and on whose recommenda tion Lewis was endorsed by the Trades Council, said today: "I don't know what attitude the unions will take concern ing Mr. Hecry or Mr. Bergundthal. For my part. I am with Bergundthal." Another man said: "it seems to me that if the unions want to endorse a man for mayor, now is the time to do it. We know who the candidates are, and can act intelligently. The endorsement which was given Louis amounted to nothing because only a few of the un ions would consent to stand for it. If the unions have any choice between Ber gundthal and Heery, I think they should now express it." IS SHK A KEITBLICAX. It is claimed that Mrs. K. Deitrich, the only woman who was nominated by the Democrats, is really a Republican, and voted for the law and order candidates in the recent Republican primaries. Mrs. Deitrich was nominated for member of the city board of education from the Fifth ward. Mr. K. Deitrich, her husband, is a well known Democrat, and it may have been at his suggestion that she was nomi nated. He was a delegate to the Dtmit craiic convention. W. K. Atchison said today: "I know that ilrs. Deitric h worked for Bergund thal. and voted for him in the recent Republican primaties, but I think she will stand hitched to this nomination." Mr. Atchison was a delegate from the Fifth ward. It was Frank F-itinger who was nomi nated by the Democrats as councilman from the Fifth ward, not J. N. Safford. as was 1 (-ported. Frank KfRnger is a groceryman. and has a store just across the street from that of the Republican nominee. J. C. Shinier. STF.IXKAMP HAS WITHDRAWN. William Steinkamn, whom the Demo crats nominated last Saturday night to run for member of the board of eduea tion from the Fourth ward, has with- 1 drawn. He sends the following state 1 ment to tire State Journal: "To the editor of the State Journal: 1 I herewith withdraw my name from tiie IVmrwTatie ticket as candidate for mem i ber of the school board from the Fourth ward. WILLIAM PTE1XKAMF." Mr. Steinkamp stated no reason for his tvlthdrawHl. except that he did not care to make the race. The Democratic t ity central committee will fill his place on the ticket. REGISTRATION STARTS IX. Both the Democrats and Republicans have started in active work on their resistiation. It is evident that the Democrats have no idea of "laying down" in their tight. It will require a big registration ami heavy vote to elect Bergundthal on April 7. "If this kind of weather will keep up for a week.' said W. S. Bergundthal to day. "I am confident that the women will get out and register. They would probably do it anyway, but with weath er like this there is no possible excuse for neglecting it. There are less than 1.0PO women registered so far, and near ly 4.000 men. if we can make this elec tion on April 7 a decisive victory for law and order Republicanism, it will go a long way toward winning the election two years from now." There is something doing at Mr. Ber gundthal's office all the time nowadays. I Hardly a single one of the former prom- inent supporters of Lew is has failed to come in and personally assure Mr. Ber i gundthal of his support. THE CANDIDATES MEET. M. Heery called upon Mr. Bergund thal this morning. The tyo candidates shook hands eordinally, and Mr. Ber gundthal invited Mr. Keery to come in BANANAS Higher, fancy Port Limon, $1.75 .1 2.5o per liui.

I don't believe I can stop," said Mr. Heery. "I just called to tell you that I "want this to be a clean cam paign. If you hear of my saying any thing disrespectful about you, or if any body tells you that I have been making unjuRt criticisms of you, you can just set it down that it's a lie. I am not go ing to make that kind of a campaign. I wanted you to understand that before this thing opens." Mr. Bergundthal made similar prom ises to Mr. Heery, and so the rules of war have been published. It reminds one of th way Fitzsimmons and Jet fries might 6hake hands on entering the ring. A PROPHET APPEARS. The first election prophet has arisen, and his name is T. G. Lloyd. He says Bergundthal will be the next mayor of Toneka. Mr. Lloyd is a colored man with white hair, and he says he has been making successful election forecasts for twenty years. "I have been able to name the mayor of the city of Topeka." says Mr. Lloyd, "for many years, and for that reason I am called the electric button. If you desire to know- the political sen timent in any community, touch the electric button." Mr. Lloyd says: "I believe that law and order will prevail all over the Unit ed States in a short time.

Cards are being printed and will be distributed today and Tues day to every part of town, telling where the registration books will be found during, this week. One card will be put into every house in town. At the places where the registration books are open, large printed notices w'ill be posted in conspicuous places. The cards for individual distribution will be sent out to the ward and pre cinct workers this afternoon. H. Ward F'age, chairman of the city central committee, announces that the pay checks for all judges and clerks In the recent primaries have been placed in his hands by the treasurer, and can be had by calling at his office. A large sign is being hung at Repub lican committee headouarters today. It gives the public to understand that the city central committee is located within. A LAB0K COMBINE. An Alliance of Unions in Chicago for Concerted Action. Chicago. March 16. Alarmed at the activity- displayed by the employers of labor in forming associations, the labor unions of Chicago are forming alliances on the "community of interest" plan and preparing for the battle which, some of the leaders believe, will inevitably fol low the crsnnSr-ntlon of the employers. Following the formation of the shipping trades federation last Sunday. Lee S. Fisher, business agent of the Machinists' union, has been commissioned to form a metal trades federation, and will start the work next week. This federation will be coiiiiosed of 'the unions of ma chinists, iron molders, metal polishers, pattern makers, core makers, stove molders and stove mounters. A national federation of the metal trades is already in existence, and the organizer's com mission, received by Fisher today is signed by James O'Conneil and Edward J. Lynch, national president and secre tary, respectively, of the metal trades federation of North America. Another alliance of unions is under way, the members of which handle horses and wagons. The name for this body has not yet been selected, but the alliance will be composed of horseshoers. stable employes. wagon blacksmiths, harness makers, wagon makers and car riage painters. The shipping trades federation, which was organized last Sunday, is composed of teamsters, freight handlers, long shoremen, seamen, switchmen, railway clerks, railway expressmen, shipping clerks, wholesale grocery employes, wholesale drug employes, commission merchants' helpers, merchandise pack ers and boxmakers. The packing trades council, composed of unions in the packing industry at tht stoek yf.rds. has been In existence for several months, as has the advisory board of the buildins: trades, composed of building trades unions. None of these alliances is intended to encroach on the scope of the Chicago Federation of Labor, as all the unions will retain their affiliation with that body-, but as there is a direct affinity be tween the various unions in the new al liances they can all a6-t c-oncertedly m the event of one of the organizations, being attacked by the employers, and in a measure combat the prejudice against sympathetic strikes. While none of the leaders will be quoted at this time as expressing alarm, it is known that they are watching the organization of the employers closely. They say they are not to be caught asleep, and if a struggle is forced upoi them they will be in a position to startle the industrial world. The employers as sociation, of which F. W. Job was lately appointed secretary, is known to be. growing in strength rapidly, and from the fact that its membership, as well as its aims and objects, have been kept a secret, the labor men say it is not or ganized for any good purpose, so far as the interests of the workers are con cerned. TO SAVE THE LANGUAGE. Little Else Is Left of Numerous In dian Tribes. Berkley, C'al., March 16. An interest ing report of an ethnological expedition taken through the fast disappearing Indian tribes of northern California, by scientists from the University of Cali fornia, has been issued. Among the ob jects of the expedition were the gather ing of mythological and linguistic in formation from such tribes as the Pomos. Athabascans. Hupas, Chimari kos, Sasteane, Yuroks, Kuroks, Shastas and Wishosks. Word lists were secured in many cases from the sole surviving members of an almost extinct tribe and with such meagre vocabularies as these afforded an effort was made to trace relationships between the northern tribes. Several Indians have been brought to Berkley for the purpose of reproducing the languages orally so tiiat they may finally be transcribed by the Rousselot apparatus for recording sounds.

Tells How He Wras Requested to Examine Bill. Senator Smith Didn't Know of "And 4" Clause. According- to ex-Attorney General Godard it would have really made no difference whether the new railroad commissioner law was doctored or not. He says that the repealing clause in a law which simply amends another is un necessary. The supreme court made a ruling of this kind, Mr. Godard says, in the case of the state against Countryman, 57th Kansas, page 823. Mr. Godard says that where the new specifically states that the old law "is amended to read as fol lows," the repealing clause is of no force or effect. Mr. Godard thinks, too, that the "doc toring" of the new law, if there was any, consisted in inserting the "and 4" in the repealing section of the bill in stead of takine it out. He says that parties came to him on Thursday of last week with the information that the title and the body of the bill did not agree, and asked him for an opinion as to the va lidity of the bill. He looked up the rec ords of the passage of the bill, includ ing the deliberation of the final con ference committee, and he says the "and 4" appeared in the title of the bill but not in the repealing section at that time. Mr. Godard's opinion, however, is that it made no difference one way or another. There is no denial of the fact that the "and 4" was inserted after the first en rolled copy of the bill was made. Ev eryone agrees as to that. Lieutenant Governor Hanna says that when the bill was presented to him for his signature. Representative Billings, chairman of the house enrolling committee, called his at tention to the discrepancy between the title and body of the bill, and that he sent for both C. M. Sheldon, secretary of the senate, and W. P. Mason, chief clerk of the house, and asked them what the record showed regarding the body of the bill. Both agreed that the "and 4" should go in the body of the bill, and it was therefore inserted anu a new enrolled copy made. Senator Smith, chairman of the con ference committee which fixed up the amendments to the bill, was just start ing for Chicago, but Lieutenant Gover nor Hanna says he caught him by tele phone and asked him about the matter, and Senator Smith replied that he did not think the "4" was in the bill, but that in his opinion it made no difference whether it was or not. A boom has already been started for W. R. Stubbs, of Lawrence, for speaker two years hence. Stubbs was an anti administration man to start with, but he rode in the administration band wagon a number of times towards the close of the session. The new city charter act for cities of the first class was finally passed as the temperance people wanted it with the clause stricken out providing that police court prosecutions barred prosecutions for the same offense in state courts, and allowing the city to appeal under cer tain conditions. George H. Lamb, ex-state senator from Woodson county, believes the law creating a new judicial distric t of Allen and Woodson counties is unconstitu tional, because it provides that the judge for the new district shall be elected at a special election, while the constitution provides that all vacancies in district judgeships shall be filled by appoint ment by the governor. As soon as the I law is published and becomes effective Governor Bailey will issue a proclama tion calling the special election for May i. The new plumbers" law gives the mayor of each city of over 7,000 popula tion some new patronage. It will be two members of the local plumbers' board. The chairman of the city board of health becomes one of the members, and be is chairman of the plumbers' board. One of the other members must be a master plumber and the third a journey man plumber. Within three months after the law becomes effective each city must pass an ordinance prescribing rules for plumbing, and no plumbing can then be done, except repairing leaks, withouV a permit from the plumbers' board. Dozens of applications are coming in to the governor's office for places on thfc state barbers'? board. The law will not become effective until published in thf statute book, which will probably be not less than two months hence, and Governor Bailey says he will consider no applications for the jobs until that time. H. E. Richter. of Council Grove, ex lieutenant governor, is an applicant for J. N. Fike's place on the state board of railroad commissioners since it has been decided that the place will go to a Re publican if one tan be elected. Since Governor Bailey has denied the rumor that he has selected Speaker Pringle as special attorney to assist in the Kansas-Colorado water litigation and says that he has not considered the matter at all, it is quite possible that ex Attorney General Godard will be select ed for the job. Mr. Godard's selection would be. the logical one, for he and Pension Commissioner Ware know more about the matter than any other law yers in the United states, and they al ready have the litigation well in hand. i Sam Amidon, of Wichita, has joined in j the race for the Democratic nomination for congress in the Seventh district. This makes four candidates at least. The convention will be held at Dodse City on April 9. just a week after the Re publican convention. The action o" the Republicans may have some bearing on the Democratic nomination. John W. Breidenthal has bought C. V. Trickett's place in Kansas City, Kas., paying $4,500 for it. Trickett is deputy internal revenue collector at Kansas City, but it is reported that he intends leaving there. Atchison Globe: The Globe lately stated that Charley Finch, after his de feat for postmaster of Lawrence, said there were no sore spots on him. Mr. Finch seys he never said any such thing. "The sore spots on me," he says, :re sore as boils, and as big as water melons." Reed Fmcot.

Pierpont Morgan has art treasures in Europe valued at fully seven million dollars, which he desires to bring to the United States." This statement was made by Henry J. Duveen, the art dealer, who "is famil iar with the financier's purchases abroad. Mr. Duveen said he was not surprised at the statement telegraphed from Washington that the duty on the paintings, art objects, and statuary would amount to three million dollars if brought to tf lis country. "I am quite familiar with Morgan's purchases abroad." Duveen said, "and while I am not at liberty to state in detail what he has in storage there I may say it is enough to fill an-ordinary museum." In this connection It is recalled that Mr. Morgan, a few- weeks ago, made oath before the board of assessors that his personal property is not worth more than $400,000. It is impossible, of course, to give a complete catalogue of Mr. Morgan's art treasures purchased and held in Eu rope. The following Is a list of a few of his treasures and the prices he paid for them: Frangonard-Du Barry panels. .$1,000,000 Mannheim ceramics 450,000 Raphael's "Madonna of St. An thony of Padua" 500,000 Gainsborough's "Duchess of Devonshire" 150,000 Ruben's "Portrait of the Grand Duke" 125,000 Reynold's' "Lady Betty Delme and Children" 110.000 Landscape by Hobbema 110,000 Pfunget bronzes 75.000 Gavet antiques 75,000 TARIFF LAW DENOUNCED. "W'hat Mr. Morgan has to say about the tariff rates in these things," said Mr. Duveen in discussing; the matter, "I quite agree with. It is outrageous that this country should lay a tax of this kind on works of art brought in by private collectors, when the large part of them find their way ultimately into museums and galleries, where they re main for the permanent education of the people. The present tariff, of cou-?e, makes no distinction between art collec tions brought in by individuals and those which dealers may import for sale. The entire proceedings seem to be to be altogether inconsistent with the princi ples of a democratic people." MORGAN DECLARES LAW UNJUST. The Washington dispatch referred to said that Mr. Morgan talked with Sec retary Shaw at some length about the tariff law- as applied to paintings and other works of art, declaring that the present law is extremely unjust p.nd burdensome. He told Secretary She.-.v that he had purchased painting's, statu ary and other art objects in Europe which he wished to bring to this coun try. The greater part of the collection is now in London. It could not be learned at the treas ury department that Mr. Morgan ex pects to secure any ruling of the depa' t ment by which any portion of his art collection may be brouzht in free of duty, but he did say emphatically the law ought to be changed. SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES. Not every county in Kansas can af ford to hold two Chautauquas a year. Mitchell county is going to hold two this year, at Beloit and Cawker City, and there is great rivalry between them. It was a Sixth district paper that printed a half column wedding notice, describing the happy event, and neither the reporter nor proof reader discovered the omission of the names until the edi tion was worked off. Since Lieutenant Governor Hanna re turned to his home in Hill Citv the "Did Maids' convention" is to be reproduced. Whether this play has any significance because Hanna is yet single, remains to be seen. While in Topeka during the winter he passed through a trying or deal, and his friends believe he will fare as well at home. P. C. Wagoner, of Phillips county, who was a Po.uilist member of the legisla ture from that county in the stormy days of Populism, is building a mansion on his farm near Logan. Wagoner is one of these who knew enough to quit after a term or two in trie legislature. Since then he has been tending strictly to the farm and made money. J. S. Price, one of the resident land agents of the I'nion Pacific of Oakley, has disposed of over $95,000 worth of the company's lands since the first of 1903. He is going to sow several hun dred pounds of speltz. a grain similar to barley, and claimed to be more produc tive and adapted to withstand the drouth. J. Ed Stevens is the name of tne post master at Goodland. He is a reverend gentleman, and he preaches as highly entertaining sermon to his followers as he gives general satisfaction to the pat rons of the Goodland postotfice. He is a member of the Christian church.

The people of Beloit will appre ciate your visit, and they wiil never let you go thirsty so long as the Solomon river has a good stage of water. The work of entertainment Is well under way. The Cawker City Record is gravely of the opinion that there is a hereafter for buncombe politicians, but leaves his readers in the dark as to who he means It will be remembered that the editor of the Record was entitled to a second term as postmaster of his town, but somehow the appointing power looked at it otherwise. Some of the Phillips county papers continue to bark at Royce. of the Dis patch, but so far he has keut his head out of water, and appears to be perfect ly safe from the snaps and growls of the other fellows. A prairie schooner, the first of the season. passed through Coiby. and while the husband got out to interview a real estate man where section f and range 21 was located, the w ife w ho was holding the horses, gave birth to a bouncing baby, and several bystanders were heard to say. such is life in the far west, and forcibly reminded them of the pioneer days of Thomas county when such events during the early set tlement of the county were frequent. The employes of the Phillipsburg Dis patch belcmg to the brass bands of that town, and on more than one occasion Editor Royce has been greatiy annoyed bv their absence when they have been wanted in the office attending their work. On account of the town's brass bands Editor Royce has been kept at home, and he missed many good things during the winter. The new north and south railroad projected for Beloit will hardly be com pleted in time to give the North Central Kansas Editors' association a ride over it at their forthcoming meeting in Be loit. April 10 and 11. Congressman ami Mrs. W". A. Reeder have returned to their pleasant Logan home. Mr. Reeder will remain there for some time, and will render all the assistance he can to his growing con stituency. He will be like Governor Bailey, "in that he will make a garden and raise home grown vegetables. A well known Republican in the Sixth district has said: If John Royce lived in any other county than Phillips h would be a congressional winner, but that as long as he lived there the peo ple would let well enough alone, and re elect Reeder. And this Republican goes on to say: In 1904 the fight will be be tween the farmers and politicians, the former favoring Repder and the latter some one else. Besides, said the Re publican, there are fewer of Boeder's political fences down than any con gressman the district has ever had. Some needed Improvements will be made on the State Industrial School for Girls in Beloit this summer, thanks to A. G. Mead, the member of the legisla ture from Mitchell county. An appro priation of J1.50O was secured to buy more land, and $4,00" was appropriated to remodel the original school building. H. P. Andrews, a former Phillips county bey, who represented that coun ty in the legislature several years ago, has landed a good job in Washington, having been appointed as tile clerk through the influence of Congressman Reeder. Beloit post No. 147 G. A. R. are for tunate in securing Governor Bailey for Decoration day. He will moot with one of the largest posts in the state, and if the day is favorable he will witness an immense turnout of old soldiers and kindred organizations and others to do homage to the day it commemorates. A V OMEN ARE VICTIMS. Easy Prey for Get-R.ich-Q.uick Con cerns, but Will Not Prosecute. Captain Langan. chief of the Ne-.v York York city detective bureau, m spep.kintr of the recent arrests of men engaged in the- "get-rioh-uuick" swin dles, said the other day: "The trouble with the average cas-r against one of these syndicates is that the great majority of their victims are women who speculate without the knowledge of their husbands." He was speaking of a concern on Broadway that had just been raided. It advertised the investment of money be longing to otliT people on the ra.es and guaranteed ri per cent. per week on money sent them and a nuarteriy divi-ae-nd according to their profits. The detectives add that more than or staid and trusting husband would be A' astounded if the letters found in these places should be made public. Chicago. Chronicle. Mayor Harrison's Active Opponent.

A woman who mede a fad rf raising dahlias or hollyhocks or be Ronias one would naturally put down as a sturdy, strong minded individual whose aesthetic graces were nnf a pro nounced feature of her character, but with the sweet pea it is different.

GERMAN ELECTIONS. The Socialist Party I3 Making Heavy Gains. New York. March 16. The geneial election in Germany', which will take place three months hence, says a Tri bune disoatch from London, will prob ably be a move bitter one than on any previous occasion, as several very im portant public interests will be at stake which are in direct antagonism to each other. The alliance of the moderate par'-ies on the cjuestiOrn of a customs tariff, by means of which it was possible to defeat Socialist obstruction, proves to have been merely a temporary one. At the last election one-third of the votes of all the electors were given to the Socialist candidates, and the discontent which prevails all ever Germany is con stantly bringing new recruits to the Socialist ranks.

Greeted Cordially by Hia Political Associates. London, March 13. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's re-entry into the house of commons today was signalized by an un usually cordial reception from Conserva tives and Unionists, while the Liberals and Nationalists maintained a sig nificant silence. Yolleys of cheers from the government supporters greeted the secretary as he entered the house and lasted several minutes. Mr. Chamber lain looked much worn, but was obvi ously in the best of spirits as he rose to inform a Questioner that he was afraid it would be difficult to collect and publish all his South African speeches. He was ashamed to say he had made about seventy, and he had had no time to read them, much less collect them. There was a vociferous Liberal counter demonstration when Mr. Crooks, the new Liberal member for Woolwich, who re cently won that district, entered. The Royal Commission. London. March 16.

Episcopal Diocese Has Grown to Ba Unwieldy. New York, March 16. Announcement has been made of a plan, division of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York, which comprises at present the boroughs of Richmond, Manhattan and the Bronx of New York city, and the counties of Wrestchester, Putnam, Dutch ess, Rockland, Orange, Sullivan and Ulster. The division proposed is the creation of a new jurisdiction, with the borough of the Bronx as its see city, and com prising for the rest of it the counties of Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess. The other jurisdiction would keep Manhat tan the see city. Before such division could be made, it is said that it would be necessary to change the general law of the Episcopal church forbidding the division of a city. Another measure New York church men are said to favor asking the gen eral convention to grant is permission to elect suffrage bishops. This would necessitate the repeal of a canon pro hibiting their election. IRON MARKET STRONG. European Manufacturers Are Loaded Up With Orders. New Y'ork, March 16. The European position of iron and steel appears to be gradually strengthening, cables the London correspondent of the Tribune. The German works, which for months have been aggressive competitors for the export business, are filled up with orders for near deliveries, are refusing fresh orders where shortness of time is the essence of the contract and have further advanced prices. Since the be ginning of the year there has been a fairly satisfactory upward movement on the continent which is especially marked in materials which are most sought after by American buyers. Cardinal Gibbons Has Doubts. Baltimore, March 16. Cardinal Gib bons, commentins on the czar's mani festo, is quoted as saying: "In my judg ment, it may be considered the most un expected as well as the most important and beneficent movement that has oc curred in the twentieth century. I have some apprehensions, however I trust that they are groundless that the eccle siastical authorities, who are very pow erful in Russia, may in some respec's modify the beneficent features of the de cree. I hope that the Jews will have a share in the proposed radical changes." Movement of Boer Generals. New York. March 16.

J.. KID GLOVES- Our regular $1.00 quality Specical END IS NOT YET. Another Turn in the Webb-Branner Litigation. And the end of the Webb-Nichols-Branner-Hazen litigation is not yet! The lawyers have got a new grip on affairs and the trouble has broken out anew, this time in the district court of Douglas county, and already an appeal has been taken to the supreme court. Douglas county' is the center of the liti gation this time. Shawnee and Jackson counties have both accumulated a var ied assortment of court records from the numerous suits growing out of this liti gation. Now it is Douglas county's turn. This suit which was today appealed to the supreme court was an application for an injunction, brought by the Klein heirs. Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Nichols, against W. R. Hazen, to keep him from bringing a varied assortment of suits against the tenants of the jlranner building on Kansas avenue between Fifth street and Kansas avenue, for j rents aireadv paid to the receiver ap- j pointed by the district court of Jackson I county and to the Klein heirs. The pe- I tition sets forth that Mrs. Nichols and j Mrs. Webb are in possession of the building, but that W. R. Hazen secured a quit claim deed from John Branner to! the building, and that he has Remanded I that the tenants pay their rent to him! and that he has broug-ht a number Ol suits in the district court of Douglas i county against some of the tenants for j rent already paid and threatens to j bring suits against the other 17. Keeler i Hite, as attorneys for the Klein heirs, ask for an injunction against a multi- j. plicity of suits, but the district court of I Douglas county denied the application, j Now the application has been appealed j to the supreme court. This will drag out the litigation two or three years j longer. BOARDING HOUSE LIFE AND HOW TO LIVE IT. Persons who live in boarding houses run the risk of becoming very selfish. It is so easy to fall into the way of al ways taking the most comfortable chair, the nicest helping of fruit, etc., and of neglecting little politenesses to others. In a well managed house of the kind there is really not much to find fault with, and yet when two or three board ers are chatting together (I am sorry to say that ladles are the most to blame in this respect) how often one hears the servants, the cooking, the furniture and everything else in turn talked over and condemned It is just a bad habit, for these severa critics would be quite ready to recom mend their much abused abode to any of their friends seeking a similar home. Then there are the boarders who are never punctual for meals, yet expect the dishes to be kept hot for them and are most censorious if the tea is tepid and the toast tough. Another boarder to be avoided and this one is quite as often of the mascu line sex constantly discourses about his own ailments, giving you a list of symptoms and repeating the doctor's re marks. Do not talk too much about anything, but. on the other hand, do not cast a chill over the rest of the company by preserving an impenetrable silence all through a meal. I would ask the elderly gentleman to bear these hints in mind. And to elder ly ladies I would suggest that they should speak nicely to the servants, who. If addressed in a kindly manner, are usually quite ready to be accommo dating in the matter of closed doors, etc. To the young- men I would say: Ee courteous to everybody, even to that unprepossessing looking spinster in the corner with more than a suspicion of wig. And to the girls: Do not tancy ev ery man who speaks civilly to you is consequently enraptured by your charms. You are ail on the same foot ing In a boarding house, and very pleas ant acquaintances are sometimes made between sensible, self respecting young people of both sexe3. To Brixhten Carpet. When a carpet comes to be laid afresh, the colors are apt to look some what dingy and certainly not so bright as was expected. To remedy this use a pailful of warm water containing two or three tablespoonfuls of household ammonia, a soft flannel and two fresh cloths for rubbing the carpet dry after it has been washed with the first flannel and water. This treatment will, when the carpet is quite dry, be found to give a most effectual renovation, but it must be remembered that certain greens will not bear ammonia. In such cases clear warm water will freshen and help tha carpet very much. V. J FITTED SILK JACKETS In the late Stole Front and Cape effects, with Postilion Backs.) SILK AND NET SKIRTS.

And they have embraced the opportunity, as Richard and settled at Salem, Mass., in 16,15, he can trace his lineage back to a sturdy English ancestry. The first Olney in this country was of an independent turn and, becoming attached to the fa mous Roger Williams, accompanied that worthy when he was banished from the state for his opinions, shared with him his martyrdom and also as sisted in the founding of Providence Plantation, in Rhode Island. One of his descendants, Richard Olney, removed from Providence to the town of Oxford. Worcester county. Mass., in 1S19, where his eidest son, Wilson Olney, became active in the manufacture of woolen goods and in the management of a bank. Here "Wilson's eldest son, Rich ard, the subject of this sketch, was born, exactly 2U0 years after his first Ameri can a ncestor settled, at Salem, and here he passed his youth. The house in which he was born still stands in Ox ford, a square, old fashioned dwelling once owned by his grandfather. As the eldest of three sons Richard set the pace for his younger brothers, and it was a good one, too, for he was always first in his class at school and foremost in healthy, hearty exercise. His fa ther's means were limited, but the elder Olney decided to give his sons a good education whether he accumulated wealth or not, and so sent Richard to Leicester academy, whence he went to Brown university, where he was grad uated with high honors in 1856. After taking his degree at Harvard Law school in 185b he was admitted to the Suffolk bar and entered the office of Judge Benjamin F. Thomas, with whom he was associated many years and whose daughter he married in 1SG1. Almost from the first he made a spe cialty of wills and the laws of corpora tions, in both of which subjects he is a recognized authority.

At any rate Turkey's nails were for the time effectively pared, and Turkish atrocities ceased for a season to disturb the Balkan peninsu la. By the terms of this treaty (1) Bul garia was created an independent, au tonomous principality, yet nominally tributary to Turkey; (2) Bulgaria south of the Balkans was retained, as east- ern Roumelia, under the direct rule of I the porte. but was granted administra j tive autonomy; (3) Turkey retained the right of garrisoning the Roumelian j frontier with regular troops; (4) reforms j were promised in Crete; (5) Montenegro I was dec lared independent and (6) Ser via likewise, with an accession of ter j ritory; (7) Roumania was declared in dependent: (S Kars, Batum and Ar j dahan were ceded to Russia; (9) the porte promised to carry out measures of reform in Armenia and Macedonia. The actual result during the past j twenty-five years has been, first, Rou melia has become independent and is now practically annexed to Bulgaria; Crete is lost to Turkey through the fail ure of the porte to carry out reforms, and now there is a hope, if not an as j surance, that the vast western province i of Turkey, comprising what is popularly j known as Macedonia, will also be sev i ered from the governing power, and for similar reasons that caused the loss of I Crete through the interference of the I great powers. j These are the facts briefly stated. I The conditions still prevail that forced European intervention as between Tur key and her territorial tributaries, and it is believed that the results of a sec ond intervention will be greater than those of 1S7X. The trail of the Turk, in fact, is a bloody one. as there need be no extensive citations to prove. All the Christian world knows that wher ever the Turk has trod the land has been blasted as if an army of locusts had settled on the country.

This army, however, is largely of ficered by Macedonians and, together with almost the entire population, is entirely in sympathy with the Macedo- nian cause. Macedonia, the province that has ex cited so many vain hopes and caused so much trouble during the past ten years or so. is more deserving of as sistance than any other country ia the world, for there is no qestion that it is terribly oppressed by the Turk.

At first blush it would not perhaps be consider ed a difficult operation to collect a few thousand camels and assemble them in corps in a country where this beast is about the only means of communication and is as numerous almost as dogs in Constantinople, but those who have had experience tell a different story. In the first place, the natives do not like to separate themselves from an animal that is so useful to them in many ways. They depend upon him not only for STATE. nounced was his aversion to publicity that, notwithstanding he was then one of the foremost lawyers in the country and in receipt of an income comparable with that of the national executive himself, the newspapers of his own city at the time hardly knew him and had great difficulty in getting his portrait. 7e W-'T s BULGARIAN FRONTIER. perpetrated there. As lords and mas ters the Turks are scattered all over the land, and it does not matter that there is no country really known as Macedonia, no land that inherits the traditions of bravery descended from tlie times of Philip and Alexander the Great. The Turkish province that cov ers the territory once known as Mace donia is divided between the Christians and the Moslems. The former repre sent a variety of religions, but they also represent the native population, while the Turks are aliens in every sense and as brutal and oppressive as the mind of man can conceive. They have settled transportation, but for food and rai ment. They make their goubahs, or tents, of camel's hair; they use the skin for leather, and, finally, they eat his meat when he is no longer servicea ble for transport. Then, again, the guileless natives are prone to pass off upon the unsophisticated Briton all their eld and wornout animals and rarely bring in one that is really fit for service. A British officer who knows whereof he affirms, writing from Ber beria. says: "Camels are brought in daily from the interior for sale and are being passed as fit or otherwise by the transport offi cers. Sore backs, sore sides and sprains, are instantly rejected, also those which cannot walk fast. Many are scored all over their bodies with wonderful patterns drawn with redhot irons, considered a sovereign remedy for lameness. But the Somali camels are willing and gentle as compared with the Indian camels. They seldom injure any one. and it is said that even when undergoing firing operations they rarely bite, although the head is left free. "This accommodating disposition is attributed greatly to the manner in which they are treated by the natives, who, though rather cruel to their po nies and to their women, never ill use the camel. Many Somalis are utterly ignorant of loading a camel, this work being done largely by the women. The camel is everywhere in the land. He is the great means of transport and is given in payment for wives and in set tlement of the incessant blood feuds which render village and town life al most unknown in the interior." Now, if the Somali camel is as de scribed above he is a very different from the average animal of his species in other parts of the world, where lie has a reputation for obstinacy, malice and general cussedness surpassed only by the mute. He grunts and groans when his loads are affixed, bites and kicks whenever he gets a good show at any passerby, and as his teeth are long President Cleveland had become ac quainted with him in a professional way, however, and was greatly im pressed with the superior mental quali ties of the successful Boston lawyer, whom he not only admired, but later on stood in awe of, it is averred, as a man more unyielding than himself when he had taken a position he believed to be right. Mr. Olney had a summer cottage at Falmouth, only fifteen miles from the president's Gray Gables, and as the society of their section was as lim ited as it was exclusive the Boston law yer and the erstwhile Buffalo practi tioner were thrown together a great deal. On the death of Walter Q. Gresham Mr. Olney was appointed secretary of state and took the oath of office June 10, 1S95. It was stated at the time that it had been a foregone conclusion that Oiney should succeed Judge Gresham in the position made vacant by his death and that, in fact, the president had no other choice. That Mr. Olney filled it to the president's satisfaction and carried forward the energetic poli cy that had been outlined by his la mented predecessor is admitted by all. He had become rather unpopular with some public men on account of his somewhat brusque manner of receiving politicians on the hunt for positions when he was attorney general, but he was, on the other hand, always popular with his friends, who admired his unaffected air of frankness, his wit and his brilliant powers of conversa tion. As a host he was and is une qualed, and his charming wife aided him greatly in entertaining during their stay in Washington. The greatest triumph of Mr. Olney's diplomatic career without doubt was won while he was secretary of state and in connection with the settlement PRINCE FERDINAND OF BULGARIA. I in the most fertile tracts and have tak I en possession of all that is worth pos sessing in Macedonia, leaving to the j native Christians scarcely means for j the barest existence. The Christian Macedonians have been reduced to a I lower stage of civilization than even j the Russian serfs of former times. I On the other hand, these methods of i the Turks have driven thousands of Macedonians to the hills and moun i tains, where they maintain themselves as brigands, beyond the reach of the i law. There is no law in Macedonia but that of force, and it is quite natural I that the common people in their des- Ik t ICt and sharp he sometimes inflicts danger ous wounds. He also has the impolite habit of spitting upon persons he dis likes and sometimes takes a rdp at one's nose or ear. It is the single humped camel, or Carnelus dromedarius, that is most numerous in Africa and the one brought into requisition in this case, and just now" Tommy Atkins is consid ering how he shall get to the top of that hump. Books on natural history tell us that it is upon the fat of this hump, in addition to the vast quantity of water the camel takes in at the start sufficient to last him a week, perhaps that he subsists while on a journey. It is said that this hump steadily di minishes as the journey proceeds, and at last it is quite small. But Tommy i3 wishing it were still smaller than it is, for how in the world is he going to mount "the bloomin' thing, you know?" The native Somali is capable of taking a swinging jump from the ground and landing right on top of the hump, but when a novice mounts he must first cause the camel to kneel and is made seasick at the start by its motions in. getting up. The camel is a pacer, mov ing both legs on each side at the same time, and it is thought that by the time the soldiers have made their few hun dred miles camel back into the Somali desert they will be desirous of having the Mad Mollah kill them to be put out of their misery. The camel can dislo cate more bones at a slower pace and in a given time than any other animal. It is proposed to mount some of the swift dromedaries with Maxims and, if necessary, fire them from their backs, but the experiment will not be tried more than once, it is believed, for the animal takes fright easily and might prove a veritable boomerang. The re port has gone out that the Mad Mollah views this assembling of camel corps for the invasion of his territory with sardonic complacency, knowing well enough that if he can only get up a stampede at close quarters the game ia his. FREDERICK A. OBER. Possibility of the Venezuelan boundary question. It is said that even before the demise of Judge Gresham Mr. Cleveland was casting about for a strong man to taka the helm in case of need, and this man he certainly found in Mr. Olney. As at torney general Mr. Olney had frequently been in consultation with Judge Gres ham over the Venezuela dispute and was thoroughly informed as to its sta tus when he succeeded the latter as sec retary of state. Not only had they studied it in the abstract, but also its bearings upon the Monroe doctrine in its widest application, foreseeing that the latter might be involved or called In question during the progress of the dis cussion. Thus it was that when he came to this affair of international im portance early in his incumbency of the office of secretary of state he was prob ably better equipped for considering it than any other public man in the coun try. He brought to bear upon it. ia fact, the same concentration of effort, fidelity and intensity of purpose that characterized his work as a lawyer, by which he rose to supremacy in the legal profession and acquired the fortune which he is enjoying today. Personally speaking, Mr. Olney Is tall, weighing about 200 pounds, muscular and well set up. He believes in and practices outdoor exercise of every sort and by these means has preserved him self in health and strength. Though ha has not at first glance a winning per sonality, being reserved to the point of brusqueness, yet he is companionable among friends and is always to be re lied upon in any emergency. After leaving public office he resumed the practice of law in Boston, in which city he has a beautiful residence on Com monwealth avenue. J. MARTIN DEVOE. peration should have turned brigands and given the Turk a taste of his own medicine. The Turks cannot make head against a guerrilla warfare of this sort, and the success of these lawless brigands has inspired the mass of tha people with a hope of ultimate inde pendence through continual fighting and agitation. Several years ago a body of agitators was formed known as the "Macedonian committee," having in view eventual freedom from the Turk by means of outside interference brought about by making public the Turkish atrocities. The success of this committee has been great, and that the powers have decided to prevent Turkey from going further in its high handed career is a tribute to their sagacity. At all events they now see the sultan facing the "irreducible maximum" of the great powers, and forced to promise the reforms he has delayed for the past twenty-five years. It is alleged that it was the Macedo nian committee which brought about the notorious abduction of the Ameri can missionary Miss Stone in Septem ber of last year and successfully avoid ed all the Turkish and Bulgarian sol diers who were sent against them for more than five months, in the end re ceiving the ransom that was raised and getting away with their booty. The committee, of course, charged this ne farious transaction upon the Turks and the Bulgarians were more than suspected of complicity in it; but though Miss Stone herself has notmad the accusation against the Macedoni ans, having been sworn to secrecy one of the American diplomats engaged in the search has admitted as much and little doubt exists that the abdu'etion was carried out not only as a means of raising funds, but for the purpose of attracting universal attention to the cause. Astute and unscrupulous, the Macedo nians have proceeded warily, but at th same time boldly, with their schemes until not alone Bulgaria is involved but the adjoining states and prineipa'i.! ties, as well as the greater nations of Europe.

The Audubon society of Missouri calls attention anew to the fact that cold storage is hastening the extermination of wild animals. Congress has passed a law regulating the traffic and shipment of birds and game, btit immense seizures by government officers show that tha statute is extensively violated. It is now held by persons who havt given special attention to the subject that the only sufficient remedy is to pro hibit the sale of all game, it has beea ascertained by the A-udubon society of Missouri that within the past 15 years song and insectivorous birds in Missouri have decreased 62 per cent cent and game birds over SO per cent. East year one seizure in New York included 50,0n0 game birds and 15,000 song birds. In Chicago 32.000 game birds were seized and a whole car load of quail was can tured in Indian Territory Game and song birds are going fasL and the pro position to stop their sale entirely gains supporters fast.

The operation was long and painful to all except the patient herself, but the shining crib of silver did the work for which Dr. Lorenz had built it and the girl will walk.

It was only by the merest chance that Mr. Fisher and three friends escaped death. The bot tle was opened and the contents poured into glasses before it was noticed that it had a peculiar look and smell. Mr. Fisher had the contents of the bottle analyzed and it was found that the wine contained 2.0116 grains of hy drocyanic acid to the fluid ounce, and 22.464 grains of strychnine, or enough of the two poisons to have produced sudden death had any of the cham pagne been even touched to the tongue. A young and handsome woman fig ures conspicuously in the case. Ac cording to accredited information this young woman took the poison package to the Chicago express office and for warded it. in person. A motive has been established and it implicates a woman and possibly a man. Whom Mr. Fisher suspects he will not say at this time, but he inti mates that developments may be ex pected any day in Chicago.

Director of Physical Training at Wellesley Calls a Halt. Boston, March 16. Miss Lucille Baton( Hill, director of physical training ax Wellesley college, contends that the prevailing fad for basket bail is work ing incalculable harm among girls, principally by reason of the lack of supervision by older persons who could utter a note of warning on occasion and save lifelong suffering.

Uncle Sam Governs His Clocks by Observing the Position of a Star. Strange as it mav see. Uncle Sa n does not make use of the sun in reck oning time, but, as already described in fet. Nicholas, he turns his attention to some of the regular steady-going stars or "fixed stars," as they are call ed. Every clear night an astronomer witn a Dig telescope looks at certain ot these stars and makes his calculations, from which he can tell just when the sun would cross the seventy-fif th meri dian. One of the great clocks in the observatory is called the transmitter, because it transmits or sends out. the signal that keeps standard time. This clock is set and regulated by the st-ir-time and then every day at three min utes and fifteen seconds before 12 a switch is turned on and the beats of the pendulum of this clock are sent by electricity over the wires to the tele graph offices in Washington and New York. When the telegraph operators hear this sound on their instruments they know that the noon signal is about to be sent out and they at once begin to connect the telegraph wires with other towns and cities until in a min ute or two the "tick, tick" of the clock at Washington is heard in hundreds of telegraph offices. The beats stop at ten seconds before 12 as a notice tha.t the next tick will be the noon signal, and so as to give the operators time to con nect their clocks. There are time balls in a great many cities, usually on top of some prominent building, where they can easily be seen. The one at Wash ington is on the roof of the state, war and navy department building, at the top of a high pole, ready to drop the instant the signal comes over the wires. In the government offices at Washing ton and in many places In other cities there are large clocks connected with the observatory by electricity. These are so arranged that when thel2 o'clock signal is flashed over the wires the hands of each one of these clocks spring to 12. no matter what time the clock may show: in this way hundreds o clocks are set to the correct time each day. Well. the moment the sun is supposed to cross the seventy-fifth meridian the telegraph instruments give a single tick, the timeballs drop, the clocks be gin to strike and everybody in the dis trict knows it is 12 o'clock.

The biggest damage suit that has been started in this court for some time has been in stituted by Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Haines against the Citizens' -fVational bank. -It is for $20,705.54 and is the outgrowth of the premature attachment suit that was commenced by the bank against the plaintiffs in this action shortly af ter they filed the claim of $2S.000against the estate of the late C.

The petition sets up three qauses of action asking for $8,077,54 in one cause; .$8,869 in an other and $5,753 in the third, making an aggregate of $20,700.54. THEY'RE NOT TURKS. South American Countries Object to Protection of United States. New York, March la The Heraldo. according to a Valparaiso Chile, dis patch to the Heraldo publishes a re markable article about the Monroe doc- i trine, in which it says: "South America ought to quietly notify the United States that she does not seek the Monroe doc trine's protection but her own. She i ought also to notify Kurope thus: j "We cannot decorously continue to be 'regarded as Turks. That is to sav, we are not outside the international law practised by the greater powers among; themselves." The writer ends by saying: "Para mount above everything is our duty to place ourselves in a worthy position be fore the world. South America ought lo renounce the invisible benelits of the so called doctrine." The correspondent adds that since the Baltimore affair many Chilians rliserust the United States more than Euruiie. UNCLE SAM'S MONEY WAGON More Than Four Billion Dollars Have Been Carried in This Cart. Down in the subbasement of the old custom house, aiong with the ash cans and rubbish barrels, says the New York Sun, there stands a sturdy little wagon which has carried in its day more than $4,000,000,000 of Uncle Sam's money. When the little wagon was consigned to the scrap heap some time ago. Cus todian Lawlor decided to preserve it if he could. "I've been here now for nearly twenty years," said Air. Lawlor, "and it aint within my memory when the little wagon failed to make its dailj trip up Wall street to the sub-treasury and never a penny spilled. There's them that have been here thirty years and the tale is the same. I call that faith fulness and Uncle SamTl have a hard time finding any other word for it. 1 guess. Anyway, I'm going to keep the little wagon as long as he'll let me." The wagon still seems fit for duty. Its joints are rather weak, though, and it has been repaired so often that it was thought best to replace it. It carried the money received as custom payments from the custom house to the suh treasury at the close of business each day for more than thirty years.

Kitts, Reno Darcy and Tolly Kline, Scott Siddons and the Eagle quartette.

One curse of riches which, it is said, has come to quite a large number of Americans who have, during the past few years, made considerable for tunes, is indigestion, due to what may be termed good living. The sud den transition from a simple life, where hard work was required early and late, to a life of luxury with but little hard work, has proved a change too great to be healthfully made. It is a change w-hich has come to many who have not during their previous life had to take into account that where physical exercise does not come with a man's daily pursuits some means of obtaining it through out-of-door sports of a greater or less athletic character is essential if good health is to be maintained.

There is, perhaps, this compensation in life, that the man of moderate means, who is compelled by the neces sity of the case to live in a reason ably simple manner, is more likely to enjoy better health while he lives and continue on to a good old age than is the man who does not hve to place the least restriction upon his expenditures and who cannot with stand the temptation to consume all of the dainties procurable by money.
